THE REBUILDER for peripheral neuropathy
Neuropathy | Last Active: 2 hours ago | Replies (115)Comment receiving replies
I'm new on here; just signed up. I developed neuropathy on the bottom of my feet due to having two chemotherapy treatments. My bottoms of feet and now feels numb up into my left ankle only. Mostly at night when they both feel even number. My oncologist said it would go away. Can anybody relate to this. I have a feeling it won't go away. I just started taking some supplements for this; called NervaSure 4; supreme organic; which is probably going to be a waste of money.

Hello @d13, Welcome to Connect, an online community where patients and caregivers share their experiences, find support and exchange information with others. From what I have read chemo induced neuropathy can go away later but nothing is for certain. Here's some information that explains it a little - "When does chemo induced neuropathy go away? -- The symptoms usually peak about 3-5 months after the last dose of treatment is taken. The abnormal sensations may disappear completely, or lessen only partially; they may also involve less of the body. If neuropathy diminishes, it is a gradual process usually requiring several months." -- Numbness & Tingling - Peripheral neuropathy - Chemocare: https://chemocare.com/chemotherapy/side-effects/numbness-tingling.aspx

Hi there
No, he is not using the device anymore, although it did seem to bring some relief when he did. His problem was better addressed by the nephrology doctors taking care of his Stage 4 kidney disease. Good,luck to you!
