    PN in Hands and Feet

    I have chemo (taxotere) induced PN in my hands and feet.  It started 3 weeks after my last chemo tx.  That was almost 2 years ago.  I still have the pain flares. I have to wear certain shoes and NEVER go barefooted like I did pre-cancer.  I do better walking, I can not stand still for very long at all without the pain starting. I take suplements and the one that seems to help the most with the PN is Acetyl-L-Carnitine.
