Are hand and foot cramps part of neuropathy? Did any one on taxol have hand or foot cramps? Painful :(

yellow mustard is the trick. Keep them in your nightstand drawer. Really works. A professional football player shared that with me.

Mine got so bad the MD took me off the taxol. I was basically bedridden with the pain and neuropathy for several days after both rounds one and two of Taxol, and he decided it would get progressively worse and moved on to the next drug we had planned on. Don't be afraid to tell your doc!

ChRisweich1, yes, it's very painful. I had the same cramps, and still do. I have recently started acupuncture and it's helping so much.

Thank you all for your helpful tips! My electrolytes have always been normal on my labs.

Do tell your doctor about the cramps. Cramps can be caused by electrolyte imbalances.
