how long does it take to recover hand/feet/face numbness after blood clot in brain? My friend (w diabetes and high blood pres) had frozen hand feeling at Tue night. Wed morning she found numbness in left extremities hand and leg. MRI showed blood clot on left side or brain. She was admitted to hospital at 2pm. They had to wait for blood pressure to come normal and almost after 2 days they started med for blood clot. She has now little better sensation when foot was on the ground. can this be recovered? can she be normal again? will numbness go away? what are the effective treatments
