Hi:

When I had chemo for colon cancer, my feet felt like they were burning a lot. I don't know if any of the neuropathy I have is from chemo.

However, from a different surgery, I had numbness from outer side of knee to hip. At night, it feels like being stuck with a thousand needles. When I take
B-12, I don't get the sensation. If I forget the B-12, I get the "needles," so
that's enough of a test for me.

Please go to the "Vitamin, ... " forum here and read about B-12. I really hope you can get him to try it. You have nothing to lose to see if it makes a difference.

Prayers,
Kat.

I am glad you are both here at NT. Please check out the PN forum and maybe you could get a little better understanding on what PN is and does, as well as finding a group of folks who understand what it all FEELS like.

Many folks who have received chemo suffer from neuropathies, and there are many different ways in which it presents itself.

I hope to see you there! - j
