This has been going on for the last 2 mnths at least 4 times a week. The pain is so intense that I can t function, sometimes it is associated with nausea & vomiting & dizziness. Since this been going on, my fingers also have been getting numb whn I m doing certain things like combing my hair. Any answers on exactly what I might be experiencing?
