Have you girls looked into cayenne pepper to boost circulation and clear stuff out?

I have done a lot to help with circulation. I believe this is trauma and no magical herb will help.  I've even had accupuncture (which usually helps my issue whatever it may be that brought me in) and a Vietnamese physical therapist who uses ancient practices.  None of it helped the numbness I was feeling.  Didn't touch on it at all.  That is how i know this is trauma related and most likely surgery would be needed.  

But now I am terrified that the CT scan will find nothing and I am back to no one wanting to help!  This is the 6th doctor I have seen in the past year about this and it's only getting worse.  Hannah, are you in the states or where do you live?  I ended up going on Medi-cal so thank god I am getting this all for free now. I was going broke from blood tests that said I am perfectly healthy.  We know there is something terribly wrong with us.  Nothing worse than someone trying to imply it's all in your head!

Hi Jen,

Please be honest with your doctor that you used breast pump. Doctors are there to help you!  And it’s not that awkward. My bf saw my breadt pump by accident before I even used it. Yes he did laugh about it said it wouldn’t do anything, but it wasn’t awkward afterwards. People out there using penis pump too. Breast implant is no better. Just saying it’s only a quick awkward moment, and your doctor mostly doesn’t even care. Asking people online, with no medical background, is not the smartest choice. 

Also I want to say that when they do CT, they probably wanna see if you have bone, neck problems, or sometimes bumps inside. Neck problem can cause everything you have too. Not trying to scare you. I only hope you to be completely honest to your doctors, instead of guessing and worrying, you need to explain about your situation , and consult your doctors to conduct relevant  tests.

Another thing, I am a foreigner, and in my home country we go to hospitals, not clinics for doctors and usually get very thoroughly tested.   The only thing I can help, is to consult some foreign online doctors for opinions . And I will get back to you.

Stop guessing and upsetting yourself. It could be anything, and might not the pump’s fault. Wait patiently for your CT tests and communicate better with your doctor. Please do that!
