Hi Shine,
Can I ask you a few more questions?

You said, "everything was fine until December 2009". When did you have your baby (what month in 2009?).

Have you spoken with your doctor or the anesthesiologist about your symptoms? Have you had any tests done? Do you have access to a neurologist?

I hope to hear from you soon, and we can conduct some research into helping you find some answers. It sounds awful to have numbness from the site of the injection and travels toward your shoulders and into your arms, and this has been happening for seven months?!
