Nerve damage?

by tooyoungforthis718, Nov 16, 2007 09:33AM
Okay to start-my last surgery of a Hysterectomy was approx 6 years ago. Since then, slowly i've had numbness and pain in both my hips when I layed down. Now-I can not lay, sit or stand, my lower back has pain and numbness that has traveled down to my toes, both my hips, legs and then up my back and through my arms to my finger tips. I used to be able to sleep on my stomach, now I can't. The past three days i've woken up and my legs are asleep to where I can't walk, it takes a minute or two. If I bend my elbows my arms and hands go numb. Sitting right now, the numbness is in my lower and upper back. I am 32 yrs old, and I've had 7 surgeries (none of these were do to my current problem) I've switched at least 3 different beds and a couple couches! I cry do to this uncomfortable feeling and the exhaustion. Any suggestions?

My back also feels like one giant bruise. It hurts for someone to scratch it, all through my back and down spine.
