Two weeks ago my right hand started to feel numb, and the numbness spread to the whole right side of my body; first the arm, then face and lastly my leg and foot. I also had pressure and pain in my ear, and muscle twitches. After maybe 5 days or so it began to wear off, but yesterday, when I was laying down on my right side for the first time since the numbness started, the ear pressure/pain returned, and so did the numbness (but that was a few hours later).
I had similar episodes 6 years ago. Then, the numbness would usually lessen after a few weeks, but return again, and since then I’ve had episodes of one sided numbness on and off, but not as severe as they were the first year (until now).I just wonder if anyone recognizes the symptoms? Could it be high intracranial pressure?
It could. I have had similar issues lately from a dislocated jaw. I would think that a pinched nerve would be more likely. The higher up in the CNS a nerve is pinched the more widespread the issues can be on one side.
Do you have a good PT or chiropractor you can see? Often times my misaligned neck can be resolved with a VERY careful and gentle chiropractor.
Thank you so much for your reply. Yes, I guess it makes sense that it could be a pinched nerve. I have nerver been to a chiropractor; too afraid it will make things worse. When I had a lumbar puncture 6 years ago my symptoms increased a lot, and since then I might be overly reluctant to allow anyone to do anything to my spine… I think I’ll just wait and see and hope for the symptoms to subside. Thanks again for your respons; really really appreciate your input and that you took the time!
