Hello, i just gave birth to my son 5 months ago and a month after i had him i got into a fender bender. some girl hit me from behind. Ever since then i have numbness in my hands and feet and swelling and pain in my neck. i have also had a non stop sinus infection and two ear infections. also my tinnitus has gotten worse and i have also gained floaters in my vision. i am wondering uf it is the car accident or the epidural is the culprit.... or should i be more worried?
Hi, Thank you for posting your query. Your current symptoms could be related to the car accident. There could be a cervical spine injury, which can cause pain in the neck and numbness of hands and feet. This can be confirmed by doing an MRI of the cervical spine. Initial treatment would consist of medications such as pregabalin, physiotherapy and use of cervical (neck) collar. Epidural is not the culprit. Regarding sinus infection and tinnitus, please consult an ENT surgeon, as it is an unrelated problem, which needs to be treated. I hope it helps. Please get back if you require any additional information. Wishing you good health, Chat Doctor. Ly/
