PERIPHERAL NEUROPATHY SYMPTOMS
Hi Ladies Maybe a dumb question but what are everyones symptoms for peripheral neuropathy. I have asked docs a couple of times, but never seem to get a straight answer. My feet/fingers never went...

Dear Pam
Treat this seriously, peripheral neuropathy is very variable but it can be longlasting and it can be serious. Some oncology nurses recommend soaking in iced water ( I have never tried that so can't comment) but my oncologist suggested Vitamin B may help. I don't know if it did or not, but the symptoms stopped developing almost straightaway and have slowly improved (two and half years). My fingers are pretty well right (they were never as bad as my feet) but I still have very patchy feeling in my feet. However no pain, burning or tingling, can stand on my tiptoes (couldn't do that for a while!) and it is still, very very slowly improving.
Anything that doesn't do you harm (always check first) may be worth trying as you really don't need this. But take heart that it can improve although it may take time.
If there is fluid, a lymphedema therapist may be worth consulting?
Good luck.
