has any one had the numbness in their hands or feet get worse after your chemo has ended? I am asking this because my left hand the all the fingers except the baby finger now is numb.

I had neuropathy, and it was from my chemo. Some things to try are curcumin, B-12 and L-Glutamine Powder. I had success, and no longer have the numbness. I use curcumin still, and used the L-Glutamine Powder for about 6 months, starting toward the end of my chemo regimen. Good luck!!!

My chemo nurse recommended to me to take magnesium and calcium today when I mentioned my numb toes and slightly numb finger tips.

Yep had tingling and numbing of bottom of my feet and fingers. And surpsringly it came on 2 months after chemo ended. But it went away after about 4 months. Hope it will be the same for you.

The neuropathy in my hands seem to be worse then they were a year ago. It is the worst when I wake up. After I start moving around and opening & closing my hands several times it gets better. I do consume a lot of turmeric (has cur cumin in it) so perhaps that is helping.
