Radiation nerve damage

Jackw5,
Keep asking questions, if you're not getting the answers you want.
I've got somewhat similar numbness in my feet. I had high doses of several chemo. drugs which caused my problems. It's been over 16 months since I've had any chemo., but I still have numbness in my feet, and they cramp up for no reason (usually at night). My pain isn't disabling, so I'm learning to live with it, and I haven't pressed for treatment.
If you're in that much pain, though, I'd look for another opinion or two.

Thanks for your reply. My doctor has decided to get some nerve tests done and has increased the dosage of Neurontin. That may help. I'm learning to live with the pain - it usually isn't too bad until late afternoon so I try to do all of my running around early and stay off my feet when it gets bad.sdeselle said:Jackw5,
