Neuropathy: Numbness only, no pain

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!

I developed numberless in my feet after undergoing 4 chemo treatments in 2021. I finished in mid April and then after 2 months, I went to my summer home in Montana. While I was there, I walked like I was drunk, could barely go down the 4 steps off my porch. After returning home in September, I went back to work with my long time trainer at the gym. He specializes in training with older adults (I am 66). It was hard but he pushed me twice a week in working on balance and regaining strength. It has made a huge difference. Yes, I still have tingling in my toes, but no pain. There is hope. Please try to do Tai Chi or find someone to help you work on balance/strength issues. You have to continue to do training even after your sessions with PT or at a facility that has a trainer who works with older adults. I wish you all the best.

Thank you for replying to my message. You are very lucky that you can still drive. The loss of my independence because I could not devastated me. Have a blessed holiday season and all the best in 23.
