Sounds like me! RCHOP finally got to my fingers and toes with neuropathy, so I’m kind of stumbling and fumbling a lot. I use a cane to make sure I don’t fall. My hematologist prescribed gabapentin for the shooting pain in my feet (mostly at night) and recommended light compression stockings or plain old support pantyhose (I got some thigh highs that are pretty comfortable). I also do exercises every night before I go to sleep, when I wake up, and if I’m sitting in my chair reading or watching tv. Basically, it’s gripping your toes like you’re pulling a towel toward you on the floor, then moving your ankles different directions. Go to bobandbrad.com and look for their neuropathy youtube videos. Those are the kind of exercises I do for my feet. My doctor approved and they seem to help; see what your doctor thinks.
