I find with my fingers that if I give them a really good shaking for 30 seconds it almost completely goes away, for a while. Cant figure out how to shake my toes so i massage them and it helps a bit.

I had neuropathy with Velcade. Taking vitamin B every day helped some.

I have been using ice socks on my feet and leaving them on until the ice packs get warm and then repeat at least 3 times the couple days after my infusion day. I do not have any neuropathy. I got this advice from a friend who had ovarian cancer and wore these socks (buy on Amazon) when she received chemo for 8 months and she has no neuropathy. It was great advice!

Hearing all this was not easy for me. It made me emotional because it feels like one thing after another. But at the same time, I am thankful that I am already under medical care and the doctors are taking steps to find out exactly what
