CTS causes numbness, pain and tingling in the fingers, hands, arms. This began about 25 weeks of pregnancy and got progressively worst at the time of birth and continued for 6 weeks postpartum. Today, I still feel weakness in my arms and pain in my arm muscles but not much tingling or numbness. Losing 54 pounds in 7.5 months postpartum has greatly reduced the swelling that existed in my arms putting pressure on the median nerve in my wrist. But another cause of CTS is relaxed muscle tissue. As long as my body is filled with biotoxins, this muscle tissue will continue to be relaxed to the point of not being able to prevent pressure on that nerve. Biotoxins must go!
Meralgia Paresthetica is a syndrome that comes from damage to the LCNT (Lateral Cutaneous Nerve of the Thigh). The LCNT arises from the lumbar area specifically the L2 and L3 spinal nerves emerging from the border of the psoas muscle and the iliacus muscle deep to the iliacus fascia passing to the anterior superior iliac spine. This condition can be cause by involvement in a motor vehicle accident like the one I was in 2 years ago as the seat belt is across this nerve over the hips. Other causes or worsening conditions can also be caused by muscle weakness from Biotoxins!
My chiropractic history has revealed some definite low back pain! More recently, after my accident I had pubic bone pain and hip pain for the first time in pregnancy. I also had this pain only after the exposure to mold during mid-pregnancy.
My neurologist would love to do nerve conduction studies or electric shock tests but I'm gonna forego that for now. I know I have pain in both areas of my body. I accept his diagnosis. The question is, would there be complete healing once Biotoxins are removed from my body? Only time will tell us the answer once a final determination of which Biotoxins I'm suffering from is revealed and treatment is rendered. But for now, I'll deal with the symptoms knowing that already both conditions have gotten better in the last week or so living out of my home, back in my remediated home and taking supplements like anti-inflammatories and probiotics, diet changes like gluten-free, low-sugar and being in a mold-free environment for the first time in years.
Treatment from a neurological stand-point would be with medication like steroids including shots or surgery neither of which I'm hoping for in the end.
My CTS and Meralgia Paresthetica will either disappear or need further treatment because too much damage has been done. Stay tuned on these neurological conditions.
