Thank you! I rely on this board so much more than doctors. I read through some of your posts. It's strange--I used to sleep on my stomach, too. Not since Mirena. Anyway, I think the numbness in my hands during the night is still Mirena (7-8 months later), and the fatigue/brain fog. But my leg didn't go numb until April. It went away briefly but the pain in my leg has been constant for 2 1/2 months. My foot became numb--just on top--about 5 weeks ago. It is constant. Most of the time my ankle hurts too--either stabbing or like it's sprained. Every step I take hurts. Since I do have some stenosis in my last disc pain management wants to me to get a shot. My low back pain is constant for a year, but it flares during ovulation. I also get pelvic stabbing for 10 days over ovulation.
I'm just having trouble trying to separate the possible causes and the doctors are no help. I don't want a shot if it's not my spine and I don't want to go back on birth control pills if it's not endometriosisis. And if it's scar tissue from the lost IUD I still don't want surgery. But I can't keep being in pain all the time so I need to try something.
I am also a teacher. One week left! Yay! I plan to sleep in till 6:30 every day.
