hi, unsure where to post this but hopeful someone can give advice. i gave birth 2 yrs ago and lost 1.5L of blood, they manually removed the clots. since then the past year i have suffered leg pains, nerve pain, pins and needles, tender abdomen (i cannot touch my stomach) and if i elevate my feet they go numb. ive started to also get a numb back.

has anyone any idea what i can do about this? i have been to my doctor and had bloods tests and they cannot find anything although they are refusing to do any scans etc.

    It sounds like you have a pinched nerve somewhere or possibly it's your sciatic nerve giving you problems. Ask your doctor to set up a MRI and an appointment with a good neurologist. If he refuses to do this look for another doctor immediately. My mom suffers with a sciatic nerve and she has some of these symptoms. My blessings are with you.
