Herniated discs/plaquenil

[Guest guest]

My adult daughter began taking plaquenil on August 7. On August 9,

she had sudden severe pain in her neck, radiating down her arm and

numbing her fingers. MRI's showed 4 herniated discs in her neck

with C5/C6 causing the pain. Could plaquenil have contributed to

this? I realize it probably did not cause the problem, but could it

have aggravated it? She had surgery to wedge the vertebrae with a

cadaver bone, strengthened with a plate. The disk had calcified so

it was totally removed. Fusion will occur as a desired result.

Thanks for any help in this matter.
