Suggest treatment for neuropathy
Patient: I WAS DIAGONONISED CANCER OF THE CERVIX IN 2004 BUT UNFORTUNATELY AFTER GOING THROUGH MAJOR OPERATION OF TOTAL HISTRETOMEY AND THE RADIO AND CHEMO THERAPIES I LATER DEVELOPED NUMBNESS IN THE LOWER LIMBS WEAK NUEROPATHY. mY LEGS NOW SEEMS AS IF THEY ARE STICKS I STRUGGLE TO BEND MY KNEES AND IF I ITS DIFFICULT FOR ME TO STAND UP. I NOW DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO, HOW BEST CAN YOU ASSIST ME? Doctor: hi This kind of weakness is very common after radiotherapy and chemotherapy . I suggest that you start good diet rich in vitamins proteins and carbohydrate ( though you will be inclined not to eat) so that your body recovers fast . Wait for 2-3 months and then if you feel that numbness is not improving then go for MRI and NCV  to assess damage to nerves if any.
