@Trussy Hello, I had chemo in 2014 but only 4 lots & my feet were stinging & the skin went really hard so of course I pulled it off despite the pain & made it worse. :o It was hard to get shoes on & off it was so painful, after chemo finished my legs were so sore when walking & I was put on new medication to stop the cancer coming back. Well the first lot did nothing for the pain so after a year I was changed onto another new one which was no better, so for 2 years post chemo I was in a lot of pain trying to walk. Then I was put on the old Tamoxifen which stopped all the pain but couldn't stop the cancer spreading to the brain, strange as the chemo was precautionary in case there were cancer cells left yet somehow they managed to stay & move upwards. :s
Now I'm back on the new medication since a brain tumour was removed in October and another is growing and it's possibly one I took after chemo. It's not brought back the leg pain so I often wonder if it was given too close to chemo & didn't allow me to heal well enough before trying it.
I hope they can sort out the pain for you, it takes a long time for pain from chemo to go even after finishing (well it did for me) but seek help if it gets too much as it seems you already have. All the very best. x
