I have felt the pain in my feet. Standing for any amount of time in the shower was rough; it's a little better now but I don't go without shoes much on hard surfaces. There were times that my hands hurt, too. But my feet were much worse.

Hi Carolyn! during my last consolidation, I developed pain on the left ring finger (DIP joint) and they said it's because of the anti-fungal/anti-bacterial medications I took during my Nadir stage. Now, 4 months post chemo, I am having pain on my left ring finger from time to time. Per my doctors, joint pains are usually post-chemo effect. My friend who had chemo/radiation for colon CA years ago said she had joint pains on both her thumb post chemo. She even said " welcome to the club! " ( joke) I think this is something that we will need to accept, though😄

Heated pool sounds amazing! I may need to look for one. :) So, Carolyn, Since starting chemotherapy for my leukemia, I have had severe neuropathy in my hands and feet. Numbness, pain, tingling and freezing all the time! I keep hot hands in my socks to keep my feet warm. Doesn't sound quite like what you are experiencing, but it does tell you that the chemo wreaks havoc on our bodies.
