The neuropathy in my fingertips and feet came on about two weeks after my last chemotherapy infusion. My feet are worse than my fingertips. In the beginning they felt like I was wearing socks that were two sizes too small from mid foot to toes. After a couple of months of gabapentin 300 mg 3x a day they began to feel better. Then after a Zometa infusion and starting Arimidex I am right back where I started. It is so annoying and often painful. ๐
Yes. I had neuropathy in my feet but never really had any random pains. It was more like a numbness and tingling. It would hurt a little when I would put a blanket or comforter on my feet and mostly bothered me at night. I was on gabapentin for it and it did help.
Yes I used the ice gloves for my hands and still got neuropathy in my fingers and toes. Unrelenting numbness and sharp pains in my feet.
My oncologist stopped one of my chemo drugs cause it was making mine worse. I think he is switching to a different drug this week. I will find out Thursday.
No, I've never used ice packs during infusions. I will try it this week.
