I Am Not Sure What’s Going On But I Had Severe Pain In Right Big Toe.

Off and on I’ve been having pain in my right big toe. The pain is constant now it started about two weeks ago and nothing seems to help to relief the pain. I have a severe case of neuropathy due to the chemo I received during treatment and the super chemo I received during my BMT. I will see my Oncologist on October 31st and will have her check it while I’m there. I am very concerned and pray that it is nothing serious. Please pray for me and God bless you all!

Like any of these things, always communicate with your doctor. The toe could be the neuropathy or gout, I think. The doctor should be able to help if it is gout.

Hi Peggy, if it’s pain oppose to numbness, related to neuropathy, reach out to your doctor and discuss taking Lyrica, which is used for (diabetic) nerve pain.

Labs can distinguish if it’s gout.

Hi Peggy. I am pretty sure it is related to Peripheral Neuropathy. When I have pain like that I use lotion and rub it. CBD oil may help, it helps me. Also, I have used Capacin Cream .075 % (but be careful it is made with pepper and you need to use gloves or wash your hands well before touching anything else such as eyes). It is sold over counter for arthritis but does work for Peripheral Neuropathy. Praying 🙏 you feel better, I have had those electrical, shooting pain and they really hurt! Love, Marcia 🌸

Charles-my son bought me a pouch that is made out of the same material as an electric blanket. You plug it n and adjust the heat to low, med or high. When my feet neuropathy gets bad, it really helps.

Cymbalta got rid of my neuropathy. 60 mg.
