Neuropathy in both feet caused by chemo; no guidance from oncologist
Hi! I'm 68 years old and got a neuropathy in both feet after I had chemo. Right now the neuropathy isn't too bad -- mainly numbness and tingling in both feet. Lately though, I've noticed the neuropathy growing in intensity and have felt the occasional painful pin/needle... I really enjoy exercising and my favorite exercise is fast walking which I've increased lately as the weather gets nicer. . I can't do more than that due to a knee replacement which was just a partial success.
I'm wondering if the exercise can be aggravating it -- and I don't want to decrease exercise if I can help it. It really helps me cope with stress but I don't want to get to the point where I have to be on meds to control pain.
Questions: 1. Is there any way I can slow down the progression of the neuropathy?
2. Are any vitamins/supplements working for you and how so?
Thanks in advance for your replies. I'm glad to have found this group.
