I have ED because of the Lupron and Zytiga, and my oncologist gave me a prescription for Cialis. Well, we tried it

Hi all, Following my emergency c-section I’ve started having pins and needles to the tip of my fingers. Also I have warm hands now which is new for me 🤷🏽‍♀️. Any one else had the same experience? I’ve asked my midwife n she didn’t seem concerned, thought it was due to handling baby. Which I didn’
