    I was diagnosed with Stage 3 Colon/Rectal cancer in April 2014. I had 28 treatments of radiation with a 5fu pump, ileostomy, 8 treatments with Oxaliplatin, and ileostomy reversal. I am now "cured" and now longer need to see my Oncologist. I have noticed that my hips seem to be weaker with knee buckling, foot drop and hammertoe on the right side. I am having surgery for the hammertoes in April but was wondering if I should see an Orthopedic Doctor for the hip problem. The Peripheral Neuropathy does seem to be worsening in the last few years.

    For what it’s worth…I have foot problems after treatment. I see a podiatrist (surgical) and am undergoing surgery for plantar fasciitis. I also have cervical arthritis from the thoracic to the top of my head bringing headaches. I am being followed by pain management with regular appointments.
