Hand therapy for the tingles and numbness

Heids75 — Mon, 19 Jun 2023 23:32:50 GMT

Now it’s winter the tingling /numbness in my fingertips has got worse. Wearing gloves 24/7 in QLD.

Has anyone had any luck with some kind of hand therapy? Worried might have some nerve damage.

Massaging my own hands feel great, I’m sure it will feel better if I got someone else to do it .
I am on chemo ( round 9) and immunotherapy.

Hi! I had terrible foot pain and hand tingling after my first cycle, so I used cold therapy on hands and feet during second treatment - made a big difference (well I think it did - I guess there is no real way to measure but it was the only variable I changed).

Cold therapy, really?
I was thinking I had to avoid the cold temperature.

I’ll do some research, thanks.

I had tingling in my left calf, I couldn't sleep at night, I tried tying my leg with cloth to stop it, nothing worked.

My son gave me a earth grounding strap to wear, I used it grudgingly when I went to bed, knowing it would not work, in the morning the tingling was 85% gone, l still didn't believe it, wore it again for next week, tingling almost gone, then I got the cord knotted, I could not be bothered to un-tangle, so I didn't wear for next two nights = tingling back. I am now wearing every night, I am a converted believer
