Week 3 after 2nd round of RT.
Feet are still sore / sensitive, but much better, pain level left foot 3/10, right foot 3/10.
Today I will try doing my boot laces up while at work.
Staying on the pain killers at this stage as well.
Still using vitamin e cream twice a day.

Week 4 after 2nd round of RT.
Feet are are much better, tender to walk on and sensitive if I step on something while walking bear foot. Limping a little still.
Still not doing boot laces up while at work, if I do the left foot nodes hurt too much.
Off the pain killers now.
Still using vitamin e cream twice a day.
I am coy about using alcohol on my feet as I do not want them to dry out too much.
Going to the podiatrist on Monday to see what he thinks, hoping he will be a bit more helpful then last time, looking at inner soles to shed the load until seeing some results of the RT (hopefully).
I reckon I will cut back the cream next week to 1 application per day, after a shower each night.

Been a couple of weeks since last update.
The rest of the soles of both my feet shed lots of skin.
Whilst my feet are sore to get started in the morning they are generally OK.
The nodes are still there and sore to touch, get a bit sore at the end of the day, but, I think there is a little improvement, which is promising.
Lets see in a couple more weeks.
Cheers, John

Been a few more weeks since last update.
As of last week the skin shedding has stopped.
Feet are sore to get started in the morning or if I have been sitting for some time, however, they are generally OK.
The nodes are still there and sore to touch, get a bit sore / ache at the end of the day, probably a little worse from the last update.
What I have noticed is my feet are still very sensitive, crack / cut and damage easily.
I have been trying to increase the amount of walking I do, used to walk 2 kms plus each afternoon after work. This stopped when the treatment started. Started this up again this week and now my shins and ankles are painful, obviously stretching everything again.
Meeting with the Professor on 5th Dec.
It is amazing that during this recent events on my feet, how much weight you put on due the limited exercise, need to loose weight for Xmas

Cheers, John

Hi Numpty

I has been about 6 months now, and the result, the nodes seemed to have stopped going and actually flattening out (no new ones that I can see).

Still sore it you stand on them, like walking on lucky stones or ladder runs, but, in general less painful.

The feet them selves are still dry and very tender, I very rarely walk around bare foot outside anymore, at least a pair of thongs on, where before I hardly worn anything outside. Hopefully this will improve.

The net result; positive, hoping for continual improvement.

In hindsight, I would try and take a month off after the treatment rather than work 11 hrs a day in work boots, or wait till retirement.

Would I do it again, yes with better planning.

My feet and ankles are very sore to start in the morning or after sitting some time, I reckon it may be due to my gate changing, with the reduced pain in the lumps I am walking differently and it taking time for my ankles and feet to re-align, (hopefully this is the answer).

Feet are still cold at night, actually cut back to 3 pairs of socks (summer) and sort of burning and cold during the day.
If you want to have a yarn, send me you number and I will give you a call, easier than typing.

Cheers, John
