Neuropathy and chemotherapy

Hi Emmie4

I used to get similar pain. Massaging hands and my feet helped a lot. I still get a lot of neuropathy  throughout my body and massage does temporarily relieve me of pain.

1. Thank you. I’ll try that. Do you know if it’s better to keep your self warm or cool

Hi Emmie.  I had this really bad and some nights were just awful, felt like a prisoner in my own body. I eventually went back into hospital after 3 horrendous days of it to get some pregablin nerve tablets. By which time the effects I think had started wearing off. I think strong painkillers and the pregrablin helped though. My next 3 chemo doses were dumbed down after that because it was so horrible and hard to cope. And just to be clear it wasnt just feet and fingers numbing, it was shin splints, leg curdling pains up and down! Best of luck my friend. You are not alone xxxx
