See details: Speak with your oncologist. Gabapentin and Lyrica (pregabalin) can be very helpful.

See below: The neuropathy is not likely to be from chemotherapy if it's only involving one extremity. Peripheral neuropathy would affect both legs. Suspect possible radiculopathy. For more info go to: http://bit.ly/1pAbbJW and http://bit.ly/1nmedWU
