Numb feet?

Hello, Does anybody have a problem with numb feet and fluid in legs after a round of Paclitaxel? Not sure how to ease problem.

    I finished chemo (not Paclitaxol) in March, still have numb or tingly feet, gradually easing though. I also had fluid problems whilst on chemo and for a short time after. Difficult with fluid problem, I had to drink lots of water and stay hydrated. The oncologist gave me fluid tablets to take occasionally, I didn't find they helped. They have eased now. Sorry I'm not much help, take care,

    Yes I had ( and still do) numb feet after paclotaxel. I finished chemo back in May my oncologist couldn't say whether the nerve damage would be permanent or no not. I've found when it gets really bad my feet are like blocks of ice, especially during the night, wooly socks don't seem to help but a hot water bottle ( or sticking my cold feet on hubby') does!
