Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Involuntary Left Arm Muscle Spasms And Itching Sensation On Skin?
I had a colonoscopy on Thursday which the doctor used propofol to sedate me. I have had severe itching and burning skin since Thursday and started yesterday with involuntary muscle spasms predominately in my left arm. I have a history of nerve damage in my left arm, inability to absorb vitamin b12, cervical fusion at c6-7, debilitating chronic pain and fatigue, ataxic gait and anemia. I am hoping that the current symptoms are due to anesthesia reaction and will subside but not sure if I need to be seen for these?
HI Well come to HCM I really appreciate your concern, such symptoms may not be due anesthesia but it may be due to some functional elements, better try to come out of this, and for this control your thoughts, try some relaxation therapy, hope this helps, take care and have a nice day.
