I am a 33 year old female 8 weeks and 2 days postpartum. This was my second child and they are 15 years apart. During pregnancy I had occasional tachycardia and a rug burn sensation behind my right knee and on my right calf when I rubbed or scratched. Around the end of my second trimester to my third trimester my thumb on my right hand developed a numbness (right is my dominate side). Since 1 1/2 weeks postpartum I have had peripheral neuropathy. I have been taking neurontin for close to 3 weeks now. I started with 300 mg then 600 mg now taking 900 mg and my neuropathy has went from the balls of my feet and toes to having numbness in my ankles. I am a RN and will have to be going back to work soon. Will this subside? If so how much longer until it does?
hi,your hand symptoms could be due to Carpal tunnel syn ChatDoctor.
