What Causes Numbness On The Left Side?
I recently visited the ER with a chief concern of numbness that radiates from my fingers to my toes on my left side. I have had an unrelenting headache that isn t responding to otcs. Ct scan with contrast didn t identify anything unusual. Md seems to think a pinched nerve. Follow up with pc isn t for weeks. If it is a pinched nerve what causes it and how do I treat it in the interim?

Hello!
Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!
I passed carefully through your question and would agree with your doctor on the fact that your symptoms could be related to a pinched nerve.
Coming to this point, I would recommend consulting with a neurologist for a physical exam and an electroneurography.
Decompression surgery may be needed.
Hope to have been helpful to you!
Wishing good health,
Dr. Iliri
