What Causes Numbness In The Right Arm After An Injury?
I had a lady run into the rear of my car I smacked my head on the windshield. I wasnt hurt at the time. Next day I couldn t hardly move. I am a truck driver. And 3 days later my left eye went black I couldnt see anything for at least 10 minutes. A few hours later my right arm just went completely dead it just hung there from the shoulder down to my fingers. About a week later it repeated it just lasted longer. Today it did it again. I have had 5 heart bypasses in 2010. And this last August they found 2 aneurysms 1 behind each knee. The right one embolized in August last year, they did a peripheral bypass, with an artificial vein. I went to the ER they did a blood test for clots and it came back positive. Checked leg bypass it is clear. They didn t do anything else. It spooking me alittle should I be doing something else if they say I m fine?
I have gone through your long query very thoroughly. Symptoms of right arm are in relation with traumatic neurovascular insult at various levels. Need ultrasound Doppler of the upper limb with electromyography of nerve conduction velocity according to the clinical signs elicited by the clinician.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Purva Patel
