    Feet burning
    Hi, Congrats on finishing your chemo! The whole time I was in chemo treatment, and for a few months after, my feet and legs hurt. My feet had the "pins and needles" pain of neuropathy. Especially when I lay down at night...
    Hopefully, yours will be like mine and go away! They say it almost always does!
    I also had radiation. Best wishes for when you being yours,
    Sybil

    What I've heard .. any many state it works ---
    try several bars of soap (3 maybe) placed between your mattress pad and sheets -- this may sound strange or odd, but it works!!!!

    Restless Leg Syndrome:

    natural treatments such as quinine water at bedtime (tonic water).
    warm/cold baths,
    electric nerve stimulation -- gentle massage
    warm/cold baths

    Best of luck to you both!
