Chemotherapy-induced neuropathy: What helps get rid of it?

Hola.Tengo neuropatía periférica,de origen desconocido. He recibido rayos por cáncer de mama diaz años antes de que la neuropatía se manifestará. No manejo totalmente los piernas y mi caminar es dificultoso ,y va en aumento,aunque no colaboró con suficientes ejercicios. Mi neuropatía se vio agravada hace casi 3 años pues una FA ( fibrilación auricular)que apareció con la manifestación de covid,me obligó a tomar medicamentos que agudizan mi neuropatía. Pero agradezco infinitamente a Dios,no tener ningún dolor. No la más mínima sensación de malestar.

Try an elliptical under the desk Pedaler . Mine has improved my balance. I really enjoy floating mindlessly while I use it watching TV. It has been said that when you reverse the action and pedal backwards it is good for the brain; using your brain in a new way. I'm 83 and got peripheral neuropathy from chemo.

Hi,
I had chemo/radiation 15 years ago, neuropathy improved first in my hands but took a long time (2-4 years?) and are perfectly fine now The numbness and stiffness in toes did not, some days were worse than others. A few months ago, I started bathtub exercises where I stretch my toes out, each toe for a count of five. Every night in hot bathtub (that also helps me sleep). I’m shocked how flexible my feet have become and most days my feeling is back in my toes. I hike 12-14 hilly miles a week and horseback ride regularly. Now I’m calling it bathtub yoga and have extended the exercises. I swear I’ll have abs at age 62! Don’t worry, your hands will come back! Keep golfing! Type, write, garden. Use those hands as if nothing is wrong! And golf your heart out!!

Thank you suggestions???

That was stupid I will make an appointment with Mayo. I have not been getting much sleep.

I am jumping on the acupuncture band wagon. I was diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) in 2019 and just completed my five year goal of being cancer free.

The neuropathy in my feet has not gone away. It is not painful, but very annoying-feels like there’s wadded up plastic wrap on the bottoms of my feet. Or sometimes like restless leg syndrome, but in my feet.

I finally tried acupuncture for the first time yesterday. It was such a wonderful experience. My feet feel about 50% better today and I will be going back for additional sessions. The added benefit is that I felt so calm and peaceful when I left and woke up earlier and more refreshed than usual.

The cost was $100 not covered by my insurance, but it was worth it to me.

Best wishes to all, Cindy
