Anxiety and neuropathy
I have developed neuropathy in my feet post chemo with burning and pain in my calves and bubbling sensations in my feet. This is making me really anxious and I've been having trouble calming myself do...
Hi Tangogirl....
I had severe neuropathy of my feet and hands....
relaxation mediation helped a bit and so did Revitive (Dawn Frazer machine for circulation) you can hire or buy from the chemist usually our chemist had a free trial they put me on it in the chemist to see if I could tolerate it .... I find it helps to settle the pain and sensations that come with neuropathy.
I had the machine on trial for 7 days I returned and bought it after 4 days I still use it now 6+yrs later...
Do you have a good Breast Care Nurse - she might be able to get you into see psychologist at the Hospital or Cancer Unit depending on where you now reside.... I found knowing that others had this helped to relax me a little abit also.
