Constant Numbness In Left Side Of Body. What To Do?

I have had numbness in the left side of my body for 2 weeks now. It s constant numbness. At some moments it s severe and at other times it s not as severe but it ha been constant for two weeks. It got extremely bad a couple of days ago so I went to the ER. They did blood work and a catscan and found nothing. I m scheduled to have an MRI next week. I was in an accident last year which left me with bulging disks in my neck, in which I see a chiropractor regularly for. The disks are only moderately bulging and I have had no real issues from the accident besides that. I have had numbness in my arm as a result of the disks but haven t had numbness in the whole left side of my body till a couple weeks ago. The accident was over a year ago. I don t think the two are related but I don t know. I have now had diarrhea for two days now also.

Hi, diarrhea is a different thing, and is due to infection, or anxiety.
Most probably the numb ness could be due to the bulging discs. So i advise you to consult an orthopedic surgeon for diagnosis and treatment.
Take more of green leafy vegetables, pulses, sprouts, and proteine rich foods. Thank you.
