Hi Daniel,
If your chemotherapy has caused neuropathy you may feel like cramping, tingling and numbness. I had experienced “trigger finger” and episodes of cramps between my thumb and forefinger. Longer term Velcade can cause these symptoms, but luckily my cramps ceased over time. Check with your oncologist to make certain that your symptoms are related to chemo. I have full use of my hands for all tasks. I hope this helps.
