Mine wasn’t as bad, just legs and feet but it wouldn’t go away after chemo (Taxotere). After 7 months, when I finally asked if it was permanent, he recommended trying alpha lipoid acid, 600mg twice daily. Can get at most “health food” places or vitamin shoppes but I got last bottle on Amazon for that strength. Noticed a difference within a couple weeks and continued for 6 months and only have a little residual in left foot.

I had the same thing happen to me. both my feet felt like I had permanent pads on my soles.
I had tingling in my neck that lasted for what seemed like minutes but probably was less than one minute. I stopped taking Letrozole and within six days it was a lot better. I think in time both symptoms will go away the longer I am off Letrozole . My oncologist said it was not the Letrozole, but my neurologist said, it had to be. Nothing else was wrong with my nerve endings.
