I noticed yesterday that the back of my right thigh felt numb, almost sore. Then as the day went on my middle toe started to hurt and feels "dead" almost. It is hard to describe, but it still feels the same this morning. I'm thinking neuropathy...but I'm not positive. I had some nerve pain in my hands and feet during chemo and even for the first month or so after my feet would hurt. But this is different. Anyone with neuropathy out there?

Does it come on suddenly like this?

    It could be neuropathy. I tripped over my toe and injured my ankle--the top of my foot went numb and I couldn't move my foot or toes upwards at all-- and ended up seeing a Neurologist. He thought it was probably chemo-induced neuropathy... He said it might be coming on slowly so that it might have caused my toe to drop and make me trip... and that the injury made it worse.

    I wasn't sure that nerve damage/blockage/numbness/paralysis was a part of neuropathy, but apparently it could be! I still don't have any pain...
