Capecitabine and problems with feet

I had something similar after my first round of docetaxel. I found moisturising my feet every day did help, I did morning and night. I continued it through the rest of the rounds and it was never as bad as that first round. Hope that helps. 

Moo goo udder cream is good to rub in. Also just putting those sore feet in cool iced water can be soothing too. Am sorry you have this side effect x

Hi Lolly P, I got neuropathy with docetaxel. Whilst I didn’t get blisters I saw a pain management dr who prescribed lidocaine plasters and also menthol emollient. The plasters have helped a lot. I put one on every night for 12 hours and then remove. Might be worth speaking with your oncologist or BCN who might be able to help and refer you.

Thanks for your reply. I do moisture every night but maybe I need to do more. Will try that. Thanks again x

Thank you so much. I'll get some of that x

Thanks,that's interesting to know. I'll mention it at my next appointment x

I am experiencing the same. Feet v sore and blistered. I have just completed the 8 cycles of Capecitebine and while I did have effects on my hands it is only this last week that I’ve really experienced painful feet. I got prescribed menthol ointment for my hands when the condition worsened so now using that on feet too. I also got prescribed Vit B compound on basis of my hands. I stopped taking that as I suspected it was exacerbating diahorrea which worsened at the same time as Instarted taking the Vit B. But now that the cape tablets have finished now taking them again. Bit to early to know if this has helped at all. I will try the plasters mentioned above.
