Ice they should put ice on then during your treatment
Thank you
Let your doctor know about the pain in your legs and the numbness in your hands and feet. The numbness is most likely neuropathy which is a common side effect of chemotherapy. Sometimes if you are lucky the neuropathy will lessen during the year or so after you have finished the chemo. If your neuropathy causes you pain talk to your doctor about medication, like Gabapentin, which may help.
Regarding the pain in your leg, please let your doctor know about this asap. Being a cancer patient and having chemotherapy both put you at risk for getting blood clots in your legs, lungs, neck, etc. and also ups your risk of having a stroke. I ended up with blood clots in my lungs and in my neck near the tubing from my chemo port a couple weeks after I finished chemo the first time I had it. My doctor put me on Eliquis, an anti-coagulant medication, and I have not had any more problems with blood clots since then, which includes going through chemo for a second time now. Good luck to you ❤️
What can you do about leg pain and numbness in your feet and hands after chemo?
