Question
almost 9 years ago i had a spinal due to a c- section.sense that day i have had numbness and pain from the injection site between the shoulders down my back and arms.did something go wrong?i do not understand why i am still suffering from this .can you help with the answer? thank you.

Answer
I can't make much sense out of the fact that  your injection site was between your shoulders when I know that site should be at your LOWER back for a C-section spinal.  Your best bet to address and resolve your problem would be to locate a board-certified pain expert to review your history and make recommendations.  Some pain experts are neurologists, some psychiatrists, physical med experts, anesthesiologists and neurosurgeons.
In your case, find one who is an anesthesiologist.
