Peripheral neuropathy

My mum has recently been diagnosed with cancer and she is on chemotherapy. But she is suffering from severe burning sensation in her feet and legs which she is unable to cope with. Even the antidepressants does not help her with sleep. Neither are the pain killers (paracetamol). Is there anything else you can recommend/suggest?  Thanks

  • Hi Selv

    im suffering with neuropathy in my feet and hands, also struggling with heavy legs they feel like lead weight. Has she finished her chemotherapy? Mine was stopped I missed my last 2 as the oncologist said she didn’t want me to get permanent damage, my pain gets worse at night, cold ice bags or beanie bags chilled in freezer help me, when I wake in the night I find the coldest tiles in the house and stand until my feet are so cold. The pain is really tiring. I’ve been told reflexology suppose to help but I haven’t tried it yet. Sorry not much advice, I think you can get on strong meds like pregabalin but not all Dr will had it out.
