Hand therapy for the tingles and numbness

Now it’s winter the tingling /numbness in my fingertips has got worse. Wearing gloves 24/7 in QLD. 

Has anyone had any luck with some kind of hand therapy? Worried  might have some nerve damage. 

Massaging my own hands feel great, I’m sure it will feel better if I got someone else to do it . 
I am on chemo ( round 9) and immunotherapy.

Re: Hand therapy for the tingles and numbness

Hi! I had terrible foot pain and hand tingling after my first cycle, so I used cold therapy on hands and feet during second treatment - made a big difference (well I think it did - I guess there is no real way to measure but it was the only variable I changed).

Cold therapy, really? 
I was thinking I had to avoid the cold temperature.

I’ll do some research, thanks.
