I developed neuropathy in my feet and lower legs while on chemo; I still have it a year later, unfortunately; but with many people, it goes away the further out you get from chemo.
I have neuropathy in both feet and hands. My feet and hands go to sleep about 50 times per day. I've just chalked it up to another one of those "new normals" that have become part of my life now0 -
numbing
I am sorry to hear about your numbing feeling. I too developed neuropathy on my feet, legs, arms and hands. I've been out of chemo for almost a year. The numbing, tingling and pain jump around to different parts of my body. I take Perocet for the pain. Stay on top of your pain otherwise it gets out of control and takes longer to manage. Good luck and don't give up hope it still might go away. I am still hoping mine goes away. God Bless you. Norma0 -

Got neuropathy in both feet and hands from Taxol. Last dose was End of Jan. 2010. It is particularly bad on the left side. At the height of it I could not hold a pen in my hand. Also, I am limping with my left foot. Balance can be a problem. before cancer, It got somewhat better over time, but both finger tips and left foot are still numb, often have sharp stabbing pains up the legs and arms. I am currently on 1200 mg Gabapentin, not so much for the Neuropathy but for persistent pain from lymph node removal. What fun!

I am up in the middle of the night because of achy legs and feet. After reading your posts, I am going to call my oncologist Tuesday to see what he can give me for some relief! I finished chemo May 27 and started rad June 20.0
