What Causes Numbness In The Arm After Emergency Angioplasty Procedure?
Hello, my mom, a 57 year old woman, had an emergency angioplasty procedure done a month go and just recently started to feel numbness on her left arm and a weird feeling on her leg as if her leg is going to give up on her and won t be able to hold her. She also feels depressed and very tired. Is it normal?

Hello,
The feeling of numbness in the arm and weakness in the leg is likely to be due to a mild nerve root compression. MRI scan of the spine can help in diagnosis.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Praveen Tayal, Orthopaedic Surgeon
