Could this be nerve damage?!
Question: Could this be nerve damage!?
I gave birth to a (beautiful) baby girl February 14, 2009 by c-section!. Ever since then, I haven't been able to sit or lay on my back for more than a few minutes!. The other night I woke up screaming in pain, and I didn't even remember waking up, I just remember pain so bad I thought I'd somehow broken my back!.!.!.but I knew I hadn't, it just felt that way!. I couldn't even lift my head without being in EXTREME pain!. I went to the ER at the hospital that delivered my baby and they simply dismissed me!. I went to another hospital and they said it was probably nerve damage from the spinal I received for the c-section!. Ever since then, and this was about a week ago, my back has been in extreme pain constantly!. I've been taking hydrocodone for the pain but it doesn't seem to do much!. Any suggestions on how to be a little more comfortable, or does anyone think this is a more serious problem!? I've tried to see my family doctor, but even they won't see me!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
I've had C!.N!.A!. (Certified Nurses Assistant) training, and have passed my certification testing!. I'm am not sure what the problem is!. I don't understand why you are having problems getting better treatment for your pain!. I recommend that you ask for physical therapy from the hospital!. You may have to be assertive in your request!. Remember, it is the squeaky wheel that gets oiled!. If you raise a fuss about your pain, they will pay attention, but do it tactfully!. Is there some place that you could lodge a complaint over lack of proper treatment!? Other than that, try putting pillows under your back and/or neck in different positions and see if you get any relief!. This usually helps!. You might also look into using a heating pad on your back and neck in twenty minute intervals, but be careful to read the instructions that come with the heating pad that you purchase and follow those instructions!.I hope you recover!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
