I have CIPN which is Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy. In remission 6 months from Small Cell Lung Cancer. Sometimes when I wake up I have "claw hands" that are very painful. I wear socks and take 400 mg of Gabapentin. So far today is a good day. Mmmm everyday actually is a good day. I am alive .

Hello @oceanlady22, Welcome to Connect. It's great to hear your Small Cell Lung Cancer is in remission. I like your attitude! Everyday is a good day and presents us with new opportunities. I don't have the claw hands but I do have the weird looking hammer toes that seem to be so common with a lot of neuropathy folks.

Here is another discussion you may want to join and learn what others have shared:

I thought the following article might be helpful if you have not already seen it:

Has your doctor or care team suggested any physcial therapy or other options to help with your hands?
