My symptoms are very similar to wasp sting & numbness. I wasn t aware of being stung at any point but I ve been to the E.R. & CT & MRI of brain were both clear. I do have problems with disks in my neck & back but I ve never experienced weakness like this...it was what I would imagine the effects of having a stroke would bring on. 3 weeks later I can t pick up a soda can or put a ponytail in. I have follow up with neuro but not for 2 more weeks. Any other possible causes for numbness & weakness in a limb? It does seem to be centered the strongest around my thumb and there is a small red mark like a bite or sting. Thank you for any insight.
Hi, as per your history it looks like more of the back and neck issue which can be ruled out with the help of the MRI and the extent of the soft tissue Injuries. Also, by performing regular exercises along with medication improve the cellular metabolism and improve the immune system as well. A physical therapist will help you with therapeutic ultrasound therapy and TENS therapy. Usually patients recover in 3-4 weeks but have to prolong the physical therapy as it is a slow moving process towards the injury. But 99% of people become better. With the grace of God I hope to see you cheerful.
