They have tried PT and message but not much change. I do have hypothyroidism but was diagnosed about a year after treatment, so the medication for that issue has not effected the neuropathy. Have had this year a lumpectomy, lymph nodes removed under same arm, chemo and more radiation so the neopathy has now advanced to include shoulder and upper arm. Using Gabapentin which gives some relief and still planning on getting back to the kayak come spring! Amazing what you can live with. - Kris
