What Does Numbness On The Right Side Of The Body Indicate?
The entire right side of my body is numb. The numbness has lasted for three days now, and in addition, my mouth and throat are being affected as well. At this point, I am wondering if it is something as little as a pinched nerve that ll eventually go away, or if I should see a doctor.
