October 2025 chemo starters

Yes @kcim burning was horrible ! I think I’m similar to you now, heels only hurt if I walk too too far ( although to be honest it’s usually my weak leg my muscles that tell me to stop first! ) and if I lie on back. Annoying when I want to read my book/phone in bed, really can’t do that for very long now without it hurting.

@Mairead_49 are your feet mostly numb or tingly or painful? It must be frustrating not to be able to do much walking. They do say exercise can improve neuropathy but I guess you just have to increase very gradually. Have you started your fitness program yet? Sounded interesting. My leg muscles are still so weak and get so stiff after walking, I think I was trying to do too much too soon at first.

@Mairead_49 thats exactly how it feels!

Thank you all for the other advice will get the wooden one or the balls today and get started on that :slightly_smiling_face:

@nib32 whats the fitness program?

Hi @nib32 thanks for your good wishes, just seen this. I have to wait another week because of Easter. I get my results next Friday now. xx

@tessie86 it was one @Mairead_49 was talking about… “Strong Lasses”?

@Jaygo and @tessie86 I realised I already had one of those spiky balls which a physio recommended me a few years back for some tight muscles. Tried it on my feet and it feels really good!

As with all massage tools, make sure you use cautiously if you have pain, or if you have numbness and can’t feel how hard you’re pressing.
