Neuropathy: Anyone found comfortable footwear?

Painful neuropathy in my feet up to mid-calf was my worst side effect. My cousin who also has pretty severe neuropathy got Hoka sandals. He swears by them. I’ve very poor so $150- for a pair of shoes is beyond my means.

The one thing that I did that has really help is that I bought slippers with memory foam soles and I always wear them at home. I have hard floors, not carpet, and I discovered that I was making it far worse by going barefoot on my hard floors.

I met a woman at our chemo center who told me that she got electromagnetic therapy from a chiropractor here and it worked wonders. I researched it and it sounds like it could be worth a try. The conclusion was mixed because they said that there isn’t a standard of practice being used. I haven’t tried it because of lack of funds. Here’s an article if you’re interested.

Good luck. 🍀 I will have to go through chemo again when my remaining tumors start growing again. Neuropathy and its pain is what worries me the most. I’m going to use far more supplements and ice even better to see if I can not get as much nerve damage the next time.

@jo72 hi I am new to the group and was reading about your situation. I am a Dethylstilbestrol daughter currently in my tenth cancer fight. Neuropathy is awful. I have found that compression, light massage, and heat or cold helps sometimes. My dear friend who is also a doctor gifted me a set of the leg and foot wraps that has the compression, heat, and massage in it. I had planned on purchasing myself one from Postmark. You can break up your payments with a few different options. I have seen them on a few other websites that have payments aas well. They are the catalog shopping places. You might be able to find the shoes that you are looking for on Poshmark as well. Hugs and blessings to you.

I’m not sure you meant this question for me, but I’ll assume so. My oncologist recommended bevacizumab every three weeks for two years as maintenance therapy. My philosophy on fighting cancer is to take every treatment possible. If it could help me survive longer, I want it. I have high blood pressure, too, but it’s well controlled on losartan. My neuropathy is bothersome, but my biggest problem is fatigue. I’m not sure whether it is residual from the chemo which ended late April, or whether it’s from the bev.
I can’t do anything anymore. In order to cook, I have to sit on a stool. I used to walk for exercise. Can’t anymore. It’s getting depressing. And so hard to accept! A fellow sister in teal recommended a physiatrist and a physical therapist who both specialize in cancer patients. I have appts with both of them soon. I hope they can help.
The first time I went through chemo, I never had any fatigue. I was still working. And walking. And cooking. I was working on my first quilt, for my first grandchild. I haven’t touched it in five months. He’s three months old now.
