    Hello
    I'm just 6 months out of chemo treatments but yes I have problems with my feet. My dr calls it neuropathy. It should have gone away after a month out of chemo but it hasn't. I don't know if thats what you have, but the pain can be intense, numbness, tingling, very painful in my toes. I'm currently in a clinical trial for cream to help with the symptoms so hopefully soon you might find relief

    hang in there!
