Congratulations on getting through your Paclitaxel treatment :) well done.
I completed my AC chemo but my Paclitaxel was stopped by the oncologist due to my PN for two weeks. It came on very suddenly and got worse during the two weeks. I could not walk, drive, pick up things and yes loads of pain even in the nails but no swelling.
After I had a couple of scans, they decided that the chemo I had already received had done the job, so they scheduled the surgery.
My PN has almost disappeared in my hands. My feet are gradually improving but at a slower rate.
Like @Afraser, someone told me to take Vitamin B as it helps with blood and also nerve repair.
I take the Thompsons Ultra B12 brand, which is sub lingual and is absorbed quickly. I noticed an improvement in my PN very soon after starting on them in September. They are available at Chemist Warehouse about $19.00 for 100 tabs but are sometimes on special for about $12.
good luck with the next part of your treatment.
