I got neuropathy from taxol, and I've never been able to explain how my feet can both be numb and hurt, but they do. What helps me a bit is to soak my feet and ankles in warm water and epsom salts before bed. If I do that and take magnesium and potassium I am less likely to have leg cramps and my feet seem less sensitive. I usually sleep with my feet sticking out from under the bedding, but it's getting a bit nippy for that. I'm seriously considering having my son build me a frame to keep the blankets off my feet. I sometimes take Advil too. And sometimes Glenlivet.
