Muscle and joint pain after chemo

i am 3 weeks post chemo.  I had 18 chemo cocktails, six rounds - carboplatin and taxol and then 2 weeks of just taxol, and then start all over again.  I experienced terrible neuropath, it was so painful I thought my fingers and toes would fall off.    The last month knocked me for a loop.  I had problems with low white blood cell count, and ended up skipping one week just to heal.  By the end of the two weeks I felt pretty good, but then I went in for my last chemo and I think it was a mistake.  My white blood cell count was at .8 and I had the chemo, then the next day had the Neulasta.  It has been downhill ever since.  I am in so much pain in my legs and abdomen that I am reduced to tears, something I never did the entire time I was on chemo.  My doctor has me  oxycoden the entire time I have been going through chemo.  I was also put on gabapentine.  Any suggestions as I am feeling so sad and discouraged.  Then this week a CT is done and they find nodules in one of my lungs and a couple of lymph nodes in my abdomen.
