How do I manage swelling in hands and feet during chemo?

I was recently diagnosed with multiple myeloma and will be starting chemotherapy soon. I came across information about how chemo can cause swelling in hands and feet, and learned there are actually different types - regular fluid buildup versus hand-foot syndrome - that need different approaches to manage. I'm trying to prepare myself for what might come up during treatment and understand what to expect. I'd love to hear from others who've been through multiple myeloma treatment about their experiences with these side effects. • Did you experience swelling during your chemo, and what did it feel like day to day? • What practical tips helped you manage these symptoms at home?
