I find with my fingers that if I give them a really good shaking for 30 seconds it almost completely goes away, for a while. Cant figure out how to shake my toes so i massage them and it helps a bit.

I had neuropathy with Velcade. Taking vitamin B every day helped some.

I have been using ice socks on my feet and leaving them on until the ice packs get warm and then repeat at least 3 times the couple days after my infusion day. I do not have any neuropathy. I got this advice from a friend who had ovarian cancer and wore these socks (buy on Amazon) when she received chemo for 8 months and she has no neuropathy. It was great advice!
