A couple weeks ago I started noticing my fingers were tingling and numb. It's gotten progressively worse since then, now I have numbness all through my hands and shooting pains down my arms. I wish I could say I have no clue what this is, but this feeling is all too familiar. Several years ago I ruptured a disc in my lower back and had this pain in my legs. I had to have surgery to correct it.
Today I went to urgent care and sure enough, my symptoms are consistent with a bulging or a herniated disc. Lovely. There's a chance the round of steroids I'm on will magically fix it, but if not I have to put a pause on the baby making. I'm currently on my period so I'm safe through the end of the current steroid dose. If I'm still having symptoms after that though, I'll be looking at ibuprofen, MRIs and possibly surgery... None of which is very baby safe.
This sucks. Prayers that the steroids work are greatly appreciated!!!
