Hello Anon

Thank you for writing.

Unfortunately this is a side effect of chemo and is known as peripheral neuropathy. It may continue as you receive chemotherapy and end when chemo is over.
Meanwhile, physical therapy can help and your doctor may be able to prescribe medications to help.

I do hope this pain ends for you.
