Default Also hear B vitamin for nerve damage

I was also told to take B vitamin for nerve damage. Within an hour of having my second daughter, my right thumb went numb and tingly. I asked my OB about it, and he didn't think much of it. Two weeks later, I saw my family dr. about it. He prescribed steroids for it; that didn't work either. He then put me on Lyrica for it, this has been the only thing to work. If I quit taking the Lyrica, my thumb goes numb. I was told it takes a year for a nerve to regenerate; but it has been 3 years and it still is numb. I have also had accupuncture, chiropractic, nerve conduction testing and more, nothing but the Lyrica helps. I haven't taken the extra B vitamin for it; but need to give it a try. I have heard B vitamin from more than one source, for nerve damage. Couldn't hurt anything to try it.
JMO, Kathy
