Exactly.....that's why I am concerned for you. I had it happen to my back a few months ago, and it was no picnic. Fortunately I can get and give myself treatment right where I work. I can't risk my license giving you information as you are in such acute stages of this but the numbness is very concerning. Hopefully a few of the things you are doing will help and it will ease up on it's own so you don't have to pay out of pocket. Just don't let it go on too long ok? I'm treating a guy right now who waited too long and he's got some permanent life altering problems because of it. That's rare of course, but you have a child that needs special care for a long time to come. Got to take care of you too my dear!
