I’m typing with my right hand as I’ve lost all power in my left arm, literally in the last 15 mins. I can feel pain and feel it if I touch it there is just an almighty throbbing ache in it and there is no power or strength in it. Help anyone…un dx (well got fibro) having brain MRI and evps soon but neuro said he can’t see signs of ms during neurological exam he performed.
I lost the use of my left side and power In my arm seeing neuro this week . I can’t help really but wanted you to no you not alone . I no it is scary but try not to worry to much i would see your doc on Monday or if gets worse go hospital and get checked out . Tc xxx Rachael. X
Try not to panic. Has your shoulder or arm been sore before this? Have you been overusing that arm at all in the past few days? If yes, then chances are that it’s a trapped nerve and the inflammation has got to the point that its interfering with signals. If anything else happens or you are scared, go to A&E. Remember you can always call NHS Direct for advice. Your GP should have an out of hours service too so you can try calling them if you’d rather. Karen x
Lost all strength in my arm too. Trying to feed the cat and smashed the bowl on the floor. Had problems before trying to write on the white board at school before and the pen kept falling out my hand as I couldn’t hold it. keep dropping things. Have some dizzy spells and get a pins and needles feeling in my feet and legs quite often. Also recent had investigations for bowel problems and nothing could be found. Very tired too and need to sleep a lot. Bit worried, not been to doctors. Are these symptoms of MS? Cheers JB
NHS direct said it must be fibro playing up. It makes me want to scream no matter what’s going on symptom wise the healthcare proffesionals always say don’t worry it’s the fibro! God forbid I eve have anything hat needs medical attention because I truly believe it will be fobbed off as fibro. Having a fibro dx can mask serious problems I feel. A rm still weak but pain eased off and can move it slightly now and I’ve rested all day (slept for 10 hrs last night I’ve slept another 8 hours today)! Maybe I’ve overdone things and hats why I’m having a rubbish time? Thank for advice guys Jo xxxx
