How to treat neuropathy from taxol? is it normal to spread from hands & feet to face & back?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Further testing is: required to determine the underlying nerve illness.I suggest a neurology consultation and consider the need for nerve conduction studies :http://chemocare.com/chemotherapy/side-effects/numbness-tingling.aspx. Chemotherapy treatments may need to be interrupted or the dose adjusted to prevent worsening of this side effect. Use of vitamins particularly those in the B-complex family. Control of neuropathic pain: Pain relievers (analgesics) Antidepressant (such as amitriptyline) Antiseizure medications (such as gabapentin)
