What Causes Numbness In The Left Hand Fingers And Thumb After A Brain Surgery?

I am a patient in a hospital now. And I am Epileptic and 44 female. The past 2 weeks I have had at least 5 Grand Mal. seizures, 2 operations on my left wrist with nuts and bolts coming out. No feeling in my thumb or 2 fingers. I was meant to of had brain surgery at Westmead Hospital 10 days ago but couldn t because these seizures came on. The Doctors don t know what to do with me. I don t live in this area and seen my brain surgery has changed to 22 May 2017 the doctors won t send me down to Westmead Hospital as I my dressing needs changing every 3 days and I could be rehabilitated as well as be watched with my seizures before my brain surgery with Doctor Mark Dexter. I m at Manning Hospital and I didn t ask for my left wrist to happen, have 8 stitches in my chin and my jaw not being able to eat properly. Please help me as it has been 2 weeks in this hospital. Thank you Michelle Reid.

Hi,

I passed carefully through your question and would explain that your symptoms are probably related to a trauma, caused by the seizures.

Coming to this point, it is important to have a full recovery from the trauma, in order to be sure that you do not have any further seizures.

Some changes in anti-epileptic drugs may be needed, in case of persistent seizures.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
