Thread: Cancer Foot Pain Rehab Required

After non-Hodgkin's lymphoma was cured two months already passed. I took 6 CTxs and the terrible pain disappeared but the nerves were damaged on my foot so, I still have the feeling of thousands of needles in my foot fingers. Two months since the CTXs but that terrible feeling is not leaving. I still have to use morphine 4 times daily. I need some experienced help with this, maybe somebody already had same problems or can advise me doctors at any location. I already looked through many web sites (uvlrx, webmd, asra)

Apart from pain any other disabilities? (e.g. weakness of foot , foor drop etc)?
Visit any neurophysician and get examined.

actually the foot pain is so strong I sometimes can not step on it - but I can't call this weakness - it is more like cramps, very strong and painful. Besides that I often fall into depression, I got an advice to try Cymbalta, docs from uvlrx agree with that. They say it will reduce nerve pain and depression. Did you try Cymbalta?
