    hello I talk to my endocrinologist today and he said my dose of the cabergoline was too high and my feet are killing me since they increase the dose. so I think your endocrinologist is wrong it does affect the feet

      Two different drugs, two different people so same side effect could be a coincidence. People who don't experience it will not comment.

      Nene, you could try talking to your pharmacy because the have access to a lot more detail on drugs than is in the leaflet in the box. They might even be able to advise your GP of an alternative drug with same power but without the side effects.
