Just wondered if anyone else experienced this problem. Having to sleep with my feet uncovered. The overall skin on my feet feels tight although they feel and look completely normal.Onco thinks it could be a side effect of the radiation treatment,.... cheers dave

  • Hi Dave, it would seem you have a touch of peripheral neuropathy, with radiotherapy a likely cause, I had it, just in feet, and found stimulating the nerves just regular short walks, moving your feet in circles and wiggling your toes gradually improved things.

  • I've had a similar experience exacerbated by recurrent back pain. I have been able to control it by walking as Eddie suggests. 

    It is annoyance, but not a great deal more than that.
