Support for Medical Bills and Recovery
On August 23rd I passed out and .y husband saw it happen and took me to the hospital. I couldn't feel my hands and feet. Then I started feeling shooting pains in my fingers hands and feet.I went to prisma in irmo but I had to be transported to the nuerology center at richland and they did a mri and ct scans and x-rays found sagittal imbalance. They said it was compressing nerves and causing nerve pain. They also said it will get worse. Currently I have alot of nerve pain in my hands and feet it feels like they are asleep along with that pins and needle feeling and shooting pain when I use my hands. I have never felt more depressed in my life and I feel trapped in my body right now. The things I could do before this I can't right now. I did have symptoms for a year and ignored it I thought it would get better. Now I can't really go anywhere for fear I'll pass out and I cannot grip or open things or do continous movement with my hands they feel like blocks. I am in physical therapy right now and I'm seeing a neurologist on the 16th to see if i need cortisoneshots or surgery. I have been out of work since the 23rd. I need help with medical bills that are piling up. I appreciate any help and I thank everyone that has reached out during this hard time in my life. I miss all of my clients and coworkers and hope to be back as soon as I get treatment. Thankyou for taking the time to read this.
Update: I had to do a nerve study to see if any other ares had pinched nerves and I also have carpal tunnel in both hands they said it was very severe but more severe in the right hand so now I'm going to probaly have to get surgery we will see on my next followup because I'll have to be treated for that now too! The nerve specialist that did the nerve study said i had to wear a brace on both hands and said that side effects from carpal tunnel include passing put or feeling light headed. I'm trying my hardest to get back to work but I just keep getting piled on!
