What Does Numbness On The Right Side Of The Body?
Hi Dr., I am experiencing numbness in the right side of my body from buttocks, legs to foot and right arm to three fingers in the right hand. Should I be concerned with my heart or possibly a pinched nerve in the upper extremity? The numbness in the right leg and foot feels achy as well and colder as though poor circulation. It s been about a week now but worse today than last week.
