Neuropathy
I would really like to connect with someone who has been on a similar journey. I was diagnosed with TNBC in April 2024 . Had chemotherapy, lumpectomy and 3 weeks of radiation. The Neuropathy began as...
mazgam the neuropathy is annoying to say the least. Mine has improved in the 8 years since the dreaded chemo. Though still have the numbness. I have adapted to how I do things because im on a keyboard for work and other things I amy keeping them active. The physio i saw got me to learn to be more conscious of my feet and walking. The balance part I get a bit forgetful on that one and bump into things especially if im uneven surface. And im not great at walking or stepping backwards. My walk now is more like a march. The painful stinging sensation is not like it was initially either mostly when I have stayed still for to long. Other advise i got is to make sure my footwear was properly fitting. Learnt the hard way blisters from shoes rubbing. I only wear natural fibres for socks and check my feet regularly You should be able to podiatry. I cannot let my toenails get long. I hope you find what works for you and that in time the horrible sensations settle down. It did take a couple of years to get to where i am now. I still have silly mishaps. Its hard to be 24/7 on top of things. I walk slower have a disability parking permit which i use just when I need to.
