Has Anyone Else Have Painful Neuropathy From Chemotherapy? It Is Beyond Endurance From The Time I Wake Up Till I Go To Sleep.

I have tried many topical creams, ointments and serums. Sometimes I get relief for only a short time. I have been told the chemotherapy's I have had caused this. 😏

That is my worse symptom of this evil cancer monster! Mine is mainly in one leg, from my hip socket all the way to my ankle! Numbness in toes and fingers, I can live with that but the leg pain is unbearable!Before my diagnosis in November, I was doctoring with a hip specialist, he said I would be a candidate for a hip replacement down the road. Which is on the back burner due to healing taking much longer with this Myeloma. also my cancer doctor told me chemo targets unhealthy body parts, thus my hip and leg. So my syatic nerve is so painful . when it is bad, Extra strength tyelonal just takes the edge off. I really am so thankful that this is minor compared to some. god is right beside me and hears from me often. Keep kicking cancer butt down the road and never give up the fight and hope my fellow friends🙏❤️😊

I had neuropathy from my spinal stenosis but when I started chemo it effected my fingers and my feet. I have little pain but numbness is the culprite. Try elevating legs at night and move ankles around often. I find that helps some. I guess its something we will have. Ugh
