I had peripheral Neuropathy and it was quite bad. Shortly after tx I even needed pain med to stop, feet were especially bad, it did get better over time, by 6 month-ish it was largly gone. Weird thing is after 15 months it is back a bit. I went for a swim in very cold water a couple of weeks ago and my hands hurt for days. I might be particularly sensitive to cold now.
I was told that the peripheran neuropathy is a fairly common side effect of Chemo
