Anyone dealing with nerve damage as well as lymphoedema because of old treatments

Anyone dealing with nerve damage as well as lymphoedema because of 1980's radiation and chemo treatment?

Hi Belvidere.

I have nerve damage - not from cancer treatment, but from a slipped disc and it's subsequent surgery (many years ago). I have sciatica, and the damage stops me taking weight on the toes of my left leg (standing on tip-toe). Now, with lower leg lymphoedema as well, the ankle and heel pain I get, means I can hardly put my foot on the floor because of the pain. It feels as if someone is trying to snap off my foot at the ankle!

Is this anything like you have, or completely different?
