@lengl47: I wanted to give you a quick reply as I saw your comment as I'm preparing for vacation . I'm so sorry to hear you're continuing to experience this type of pain after having undergone such a lenghty course to get to your diagnosis. I wonder if your providers indicated that the treatment involved proximity to nerves in the area? If these were impacted, that may be contribuing to your ongoing healing as the nerves regenerate or to the compaints you're having.

May I ask if you're experiencing any changes in skin temperature, sensation, color, hair/nail growth or localized swelling or stiffness around your ankle or foot? Have you asked the oncologist if you could seek the opinion of a physiatrist (one who specializes in physical medicine and rehab) or interventional pain management specialist?

@grammato3 I don’t recall being told that there might be nerve damage. However, I’m currently being treated for neuropathy. I’m 8 weeks in of a 12 week treatment plan. The oncologist never mentioned referring me to anyone but my palliative care Dr recommended that I see a foot and ankle specialist. I’m looking forward to my appt next Monday. I’m sleeping about 4 hours a night while still working. I’m so exhausted! I do have swelling in my ankle. No issues with losing hair or any nail issues. The treated area is extremely sensitive to touch and still very red and discolored from radiation.
