nueropathy and complications due to labor/c-section
nueropathy and complications due to labor/c-section
by oncetri, Jul 02, 2007 12:00AM
I had a baby 7 months ago. Before I went into labor, I was a healthy athletic 25 year old. Something went terribly wrong the day I gave birth. I had 14 hours of back labor and an emergency c-section. Since then, the pain has never gone away. I still, 7 months after the surgery, cannot touch my incision without extreme pain. I get burning senstations across the incision following the groin line. I get numbness and/or heaviness in my legs, muscle spasms in my pelvic floor and now muscle spasms in both forearms (especially my left one which is causing me loss of motion in my thumb). I cannot walk for extended periods of time, or sit for more than 30 minutes without my legs going numb and severe neck pain.
I have had several tests, concluding that I have Epstein-Barr and two virus (cold sores, and herpes type 6). My EMG on my left leg indicated three nerve groups took over for one major nerve. I have three bulged discs in my lower back, of which none are touching the spinal cord. I don't know what to make of this anymore. I'm not getting answers (doctors cannot figure it out) and defintely no solutions. The doctor that performed the surgery is not talking. What tests should I be asking for or what should my new doctors be looking for? What possiblilities could have gone wrong?
