cold sensation in arm and legs
by jrosen37, Jul 15, 2008 05:31PM
I injured my back about 2 wks ago now. It started with burning searing knife stabbing pain under my left shoulder blade. Other symptoms were feelings of indigestion, felt like something was stuck in my back, it would also hurt on my left side in the rib cage area and under the left breast. I could not stand or sit for any extended period of time (more than 10 min.) before the pain became unbearable. We have a pool in the backyard I could be in the pool and feel no pain. Also, I could lay down and get the pain back under control.
On the 5th day my husband tried to give me a back massage. He said he felt some sort of lump and when he rubbed it it moved. When he did this I felt a jolt go all the way through me. It wasn't a painful jolt just a jolt. I decided at this time I could stand the pain no longer so we went to the ER. Once at the ER they took my history took a chest xray and an EKG and told me I had back sprain. Sent me home with Flexeril and hydrocodone. I have had a back sprain before and never felt like this before. I still feel pain.
Now a new symptom has appeared. I have cold sensation spreading through my legs and arms. I have tried to start walking short distances again and even on the Hydrocodone I am in tears. I have always considered myself someone to have a high tolerance for pain as I had 3 kids with no pain meds.
We have no insurance so any advice or knowledge you have or can share to save needless and useless test if there is truely nothing wrong but a sprained but would be appreciated.
Thank you
