Tingling or pain when i get up, in the feet 1 year after chemo
Its been over a year/ my last chemo treatment. Im finding it hard to just get up after I have been sitting awhile, my feet feel like they are asleep but it does go away when I start walking around, is this common?
Yes, Deborah, unfortunately this is quite common. Please read our piece on peripheral neuropathy (the official name for "tingling toes"), just posted by our expert patient Phyllis Johnson a couple of weeks ago. Hope this fades away for you soon... PJH

Hi Deborah,
PJ is right. I still experience neuropathy and I'm two years out of treatment. It is not as bad as it used to be, but it is still there. I also have the need to flex my hands and feet. They feel a bit numb. This is perfectly normal...it gets better with time, but it is part of the after effects of chemo.
