Neuropathy: Numbness only, no pain

I have finally found someone like me with numbness but no pain. The numbness is in my hands also. The tips of my fingers are numb and my hands are slippery from all the pins and needles. I am unable to drive and my feet are both dropped. This is all from the three bouts of chemo I received for ovarian cancer. I am unable to stand alone and must use a walker to get about. My doctor thought he got all the cancer but felt I should still get the chemo just as a precaution. I was able to walk before the chemo and now I am disabled. I try to keep a positive attitude but some days I feel like so much of the life I have left has been destroyed. My neurologist does nothing for me but ask if I am in pain because he would give me more pain pills. I don’t want more I just want an answer on the numbness and how to fix it! I keep checking this site in hopes that someone on here has an answer to this,

Hi Tessie63, I too have no pain just numbness in my feet. I had tingling only for about 12 years because of diabetes but now having Multiple Myeloma for almost 4 years it is much worse. I'm on chemo pills and have been for the almost 4 years dx with the cancer. I also see a Podiatrist every 2 months and she and other Dr's say nothing for just the numb feeling! I know how you feel it's awful, I still drive but walk with a cane because of balance issues. Sure wish there was something for us! I have no answer for this but hopefully one day there will be a cure. Take care and happy Holidays!
