I am fairly certain I pinched a nerve in the left side of my back. I woke up this morning in serious pain and it took me a while to actually get out of bed, when I did get up I noticed my right hand was numb and feeling like pins and needles. I figured I slept on my arm but it wouldn't stop for about an hour or so and still I feel it a bit in my finger tips.
I'm unable to see my Dr til friday, so I went to the closes walk-in clinic to see if I could just speak with a Dr and get some suggestions and what not. The wait was about 4 hours, so there was no way I was going to sit there like this for that long. So I went to speak with a pharmacist to see if there was anything he could suggest that was safe to take for pain, all he could tell me was "The safest thing to take while pregnant for pain is tylenol.." I am well aware of that haha So I left and I am again at home in pain.
Of course I'm not looking for a medical diagnosis, just wondering if this has happend to anyone else while pregnant and how was it treated?
numbness and tingling,
aches and pains
