What Causes Sudden Numbness Of Whole Left Side Body?

My 50 year old daughter - left side of her body had gone numb for about48 hrs and the hand and leg are not working. She has seed a neurologist previously for what thought to be an off and on type of MS. She went to the ER Tuesday afternoon and they did many test but did not have an answer (Posssible Cluster headache). She is supposed to see her Primary MD tomorrow and if he thinks it is necessary he will send her to the Neurologist Any ideas or questions

Dr. Hanif warmly welcomes you!

Thanks for consulting at my virtual clinic. I have carefully worked through your case, and can well realize your health worries. Being your physician, I want to assure, I will take care all of your medical concerns.

She needs a neurologist consultation for sure. He will see the degree of weakness or paraplegia and will assess her physically to find out the cause of this weakness. Such conditions are slow healing and it will take some time too. MS patients are not always easy to diagnose. It also takes some time to diagnose even by a neurologist. So remain under supervision of neurologist for the whole treatment time.
