What Does Numbness On Left Hand And Leg Indicate?

I have numbness on left leg and hand. Some times gets numbness on both legs and feet all of a sudden. It pains on left side of the neck. Added to this, I have continuous wheezing. I had lung infection last year and was admitted in hospital for 50 days as my right lung was almost diseased. Since then the above two are still continuing. Dr. Deepak Arjundas - Neurologist and Dr. Natarajan, pulmonoligist are giving treatment. Still the issue continues. What could be the reason

Hello,

The numbness on left hand and leg indicates most likely sequence of cerebro vascular accident or ischemic stroke at the time of initial complain, which has damaged respective regions of brain which are controlling left hand and leg as routinely right cerebral hemisphere in most of the cases. However, a recent MRI brain will help to reveal best information needed to co relate on clinical grounds.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
