What Causes Weakness In The Leg And Hand Despite A Normal CT Scan?
I woke up Saturday and could barely walk. Right leg tried to buckle and I felt like a deer on ice. Sunday I woke up and my right hand was not working properly. I can t sign my name. I had a CT scan done and they said they couldn t see anything. I was taking zocor 40mg for 4 days. I stopped taking it immediately.

Hi,
If the simvastatin was the culprit, symptoms should regress after stopping it.
If the symptoms persist, I suggest you to consider cervical spine problems ( stenosis, herniation, etc.) as a possible condition.
MRI is a more specific radiological examination in such cases.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
