Sounds like neuropathy. I'm so sorry to hear this. I have the same side effects. I have from the middle of of my knuckles to the tips of my feet and half way of my calves to the tips of my toes. It started right after I began chemo. I take gabapentin and insomnia med(amiben) and that's the only way I get relief. Next week will have my 19th treatment. This journey is so tough on all of us. Praying you find relief at night.đź’—đź’—

Some lymphodema in right breast after 5 accelerated radiation treatments and a liitle in my arm and hand. Trying to do massage on the breast along with lymphatic masssge which helps a little. And . . . How many times did I ask about radiation side effects? I was told just fatigue. Hah. Yes, fatigue, some pain in my shoulder, where I had that joint replaced 3 yrs ago and it never hurt, lymphodema. Do they really not know? Or like I was told side effects are rare. Makes me angry as radiation can cause slight nerve damage on shoulder. Of course this a study out of the UK, nothing from US.

I had 33 rounds of radiation with very little side effects…mostly fatigue. I used Aquaphor twice a day and put baby powder over it to keep from coming off on my clothes. It kept me from burning.

I also had 15 infusions of Keytruda with little side effects…again fatigue and some muscle pain. Good luck and I hope you get through it all with minimal side effects! 💝

I thought all my issues with right hand were something else it's been horrible wakes me up every night pain burning numb tingling all the same time and hasn't stopped. Now I'm thinking it was either surgery or radiation.. it's not right they don't report all these side affects!
