Back Pain With Hand/arm/finger Numbness During Sleep Periods Posted: 05-16-06 09:06am
If anyone has any advice, I would be so
grateful! I am 33, female and in
excellent health (as far as bloodwork
goes). My mch is slightly high (34.1)
and my potassium is a little low (3.4).
I have been experiencing numbness in my
hands, arms, fingers just about every
night for over a year now. I have been
to a neurologist and had a nerve
conductivity test, which ruled out carpal
tunnel. I do not have diabetes or any
other diseases that I am aware of. At
the time these symptoms began, I was
taking a diet pill called lipovara and
prior to that I tried lexapro for a couple
months prior to the symptoms. Also, I
about three months before the numbness, I
was involved in a car accident, where
someone hit me on the highway, but I did
not feel any pain from it at the time or
afterwards. I have been to a
chiropractor with no improvement.
Massages feel great, but are expensive, so
are the chiropractors. It is very
upsetting to wake up with my hand asleep,
annoying too. It doesn't matter what
position I sleep in or which mattress, it
happens everywhere. I have noticed a
couple lumps on my lower back, one on each
side of my spine. It hurts to stand a
long time and to bend over sometimes.
Does anyone know what is wrong with me?
Thanks!!
