My husband and I were horsing around and I accidentally kneed him in the neck. He said that his right arm felt numb and he couldn t feel anything from his elbow down to his fingers. He says the feeling is slowly coming back but it s been about 7-8 minutes. Should we go to the ER to get it checked out?
Hello, His symptoms could be related to a pinched nerve. I would exclude any possible stroke, considering the description of the numbness. Coming to this point, I recommend waiting and trying to move his arm as much as he can. If the situation does not improve, going to the ER for a physical exam. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
