Leg Neuropathy & Thyroid cancer

Thyroid cancer 2002. 2005 radical neck disection 41 nodes removed 10 positive for Pap. carcanoma. And ever since then I have had swelling in my legs. The cancer doctors say it has nothing to do with the Thyroid cancer. P.A.'s and naturopaths say it is being on only Synthroid. An internist  told me in fact if I go on Cytomel it will cause the cancer to return. I also have Hep C. Is there anything natural I can do to help stop the pain in  my legs? Is ther a cure for this? Are there any vitamins that help?
Thanks for your help,

Thanks for the information on the B vitamines. I have tried magnesium before and it didn't seem to help much. I feel a bit better when I do yoga in the morning. I am brand new at it and boy am I stiff!. I It is called A.M & P.M. YOGA for beginners By: Element. I bought it at Costco and it was buy one get one free. What a deal! HUH? Have you had thyroid ca? I am sure tired of being tired. I can sleep any where & any time!
I am not very good at navigating around the internet so please bear with me on this. How much B do you take?
Thanks so much & enjoy your summer! It is wicked cold here in Alaska!!!!!

I am mega B vitamins and have no leg aches but get them when heading Hyper if I do.
Magnesium can be brought OTC at a Chemist.
It wouldnt hurt taking mega B vitamins as your body disposes of whatever you dont need.
Hope that helps.

Just my whole leg. They ache. I read last night B12 & B6 and a few others might help. Have you heard of that? I prefer not to take a prescription.

Are the legs or feet swollen?
I found Magnesium was great for leg aches but consult your Doctor first.
I also found I got them when my levels were unstable.
Hope that helps.
