After 3 cycles of chemo the soles of my feet are becoming painful to walk on. Has anyone got any remedies or suggestions. Would a rub with Deep Heat help?
Hi Jasper47. The nurses recommend Aveeno with Shea butter (which you can get at the supermarket, superdrug,boots etc.) or Udder Cream which you can buy online. My friend Johnny has found Flexitol heel cream to be very good.
However you must mention this to the nurses as it can get worse over time and quite painful. They may recommend a dosage reduction but please let them look at your feet to avoid any permanent damage. Have you tried ringing the nurses on your 24 hour helpline for advice too? I would recommend this before trying something like deep heat just in case you make things worse
