What Causes Numbness On The Right Side Of The Arm And Chest After An Injury?

I fell from a fence in May. I have had brain scans and a MRI... All negative but I am still numb on my right arm, side of chest and right thigh. It s not all that painful but it s annoying as hell! Doc says it s a nerve that is damaged and will heal. But it still feels like it s not healing and.I very active 65 year old that is not used to being sidelined... Any advice?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, as long as the history or fall is concern and the MRI done and it is negative then what ever the complaint you have could be nonspecific and it may not be due to nerve damage but it could be due to some local compression, may be due to poor posture it is nothing to worry hope this information helps.
