Not during infusion. The way it works is when the cold packs are applied it shrinks the capillary vessels in your fingertips and toes and reduces the concentration of oxaloplatin in those areas that is the cause of cold sensitivity and neuropathy after infusion give it a try it really worked for me

Oh thank you I will ask them next time.

This sounds like the same idea as how the cold caps work for hair?

Yes more cold After infusion would just send the pain to the moon lol

I wish I had known that when I had my chemo last year! Good to know moving forward.

I sure wish I would have known that 10 years ago after infusions with Oxaliplatin. The nerve damage seems to be from the weakness in the hip, knee buckling, foot drop and now hammertoes on my right side. It's hard to believe that the drugs we have to take to save our lives
can do such damage.
