Alice, I am sorry to hear you are having so much pain. I have lots of burning in my legs and feet especially at night. Have not had to take any meds for it. I was taking glutamine powder and B-6 (only take 25 mgs more can cause neuropathy) while on chemo. Everyone is different but I suspect it is from the Taxol and Carboplatin. It depends on how much nerve damage you received. If the nerves have been killed then that would answer why you are having so much pain. I know my oncologist is very concern when I am on that combo of chemo saying that for some people neuropathy is real bad. He told me once that he could literally kill my hands and feet to the point that I could not walk or feed myself. I have seen patients in oncology who could not even hold their fingers up their spouses had to feed them!! They had no feeling in their hands their fingers just hung down. Really scared me to see that after what my oncologist told me. You can see a neurologist and see what he says. There are tests they can do to determine how much nerve damage you may have if any. Wishing you well. hugs, Sandy
