When I had my second last dose of chemo at the end of February 2010, I developed a sensation on the bottom of my toes and the soles of my feet. It is a feeling of tightness and like walking on very sharp sand. The nurses and doctor say it wil go away. Has anyone else had this and had it "go away"?
Hi Anne,
Yes I am the same as Peta, I finished my Chemo in March as well but my feet still have the numbness and feeling like walking on lumps of cotton wool. I am hopeing that it will ease soon, my fingers are still also numb. Other than these little humps everything is good. I hope your numbness eases soon. Genevieve
Hi, Peta,
It is more of a discomfort and tightness rather than painful. And it is
Hi Genevieve,
Thanks for your reply. Walking on lumps of cotton wool may be worse than walking on sharp sand!
I also have numbness in my right thumb and forefinger but that was from getting the PICC line in, it took them 3 goes.
Hope your symptoms ease soon.
Regards
Anne
Hi Anne,
My feet were like walking on sharp sand at first too. It was as if they had been put into hot oil.....they blistered and peeled....Icouldn't walk for nearly a month they were so sore and sensitive...I hope no one else has to endure that. Thankfully it is only the slight numbness that remains. I would much prefere that than the other. Hope you keep well.
Kind regards
Genevieve
