Any tips for managing neuropathy in hands and feet?

I’m with you I’ve been doing the ice and working through it I don’t know of anything else other than meds which I don’t want to take any suggestions would be helpful

I had neuropathy starting in my arms and then toes. It will pass. I had surgery 5/1/23. They removed 18 lymph nodes 12 were cancerous. My hair grew back, fine and curly. The black from the chemo on my finger nails and toe nails are leaving but still there. I am on inhibiting meds for the next 10 years. I have had mammograms since I was 20, the did not discover the cancer which if Medicare would have paid for a D mammogram they might have discovered the cancer. Today so far I show no signs of cancer at 76. You will be tired but keep your faith. Michele

Wow 76 that’s great I’m 60 I hope to reach that and beyond I am three away from being done with chemo I am so over it I’m having a bad bout with neuropathy right now you would think after 12 rounds of chemo they would be able to get the dosage right I’ve had so many reactions I just want to be done don’t get me wrong I’m glad to be alive it’s just hard some days but I’m a fighter so I still push on went back to work rather than sit around so I have to push on….🙏🏽

Hello Crystal🥰 my Oncologist physician indicated neuropathy may leave and sometimes it may not. As we speak my feet 👣 are cold and ace badly. Hope you feel better soon the battle has been fought. And it gets better.

Hello, powerful warriors! I was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer August 2021. During that time I was working from home due to Covid. I retired from work in May 2022 because it was too much for me as my youngest daughter was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer in January 2022. We both had breast surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation. The amount of time back and forth to treatments and medical appointments can't be counted. Please know that the best thing you can do is rest when you can. My daughter's cancer spread, and she passed on June 11, 2023. I am still recovering from neuropathy in my feet. My test are indicating that negative. My mental status is depression, which my granddaughter and I deal with these days. I try my best to encourage everyone, because this journey is not easy. I am taking Arimidex for ten years. Take one day at a time. If you are in need of help, please contact the cancer social worker at the medical facility you receive services. My daughter was self employed as a beautician so she was not able to work. The social worked diligently to help her with income, grants, food, etc. I continue to pray for each of you as I read your stories. May God continue to have all your needs met. Blessings 🙌

Thank you my sistha. So very nice to meet you Leatrice, and thank you for your testimony. I am truly sorry for the loss of your. My thoughts and prayers are with you!

I used the Detox patches for 5 nights on the bottom of my feet and felt a difference in the tingling of my toes. Also, I have this neuropathy electrical pad that I place my feet on and allow it to massage my muscles and get that recharge. Works very well. The gabapentin is trash. It does not help.

Michele please give more info on the detox patches. I’ve had neuropathy for years.
