          I had this for a few months at the beginning of treatment.  No tips, other than I treated myself to a nice pair of sheepskin lined slippers to wear at home, and found that helped a bit.

            I started having similar issues (bottom of feet hurting along with other lower leg issues) after about 5 months fo treatment.  I attribute it primarily to nerve issues.  I take alot of tylenol, use heated blankets, and had to quit wearing shoes with little support.  The next step woudl be the drug gabepentin(Sp?) or hihger power pain killer.  I primairly just live with it adn wait for the next 5.5 months to get overwith!

                Hi KB, do you feel the pain most in your heels? I am on Opdivo and not your treatment but wanted to share that I have had a moderate amount of intermittent pain in my left heel and a slight amount in my right. I tried ibuprofen and the foot exercises done for those with plantar fascitis. I did feel a bit of relief from doing one exercise where you stand on your tippie toes and hold it then release and repeat. Also, there are socks one can wear speciifically for plantar fascitis. By the time I read about those and ordered them, my pain subsided and has not been back.

                Sorry I can't offer a true fix, other than to say that it definitely came and went. The longest bout was for 2 months or so and it hasn't been back (I am nearing the end of my treatment). 

                Hang in there!
