Is it normal to have shooting/burning pain after stroke?
by kristinMC, May 07, 2008 01:34PM
I had a mini-stroke recently that that affected my entire left side. After 4 hours I could swallow and somewhat move my left arm and leg and regained sensation although very uncoordinated. My question is if it is normal that once I started moving my arms and legs I felt a burning shooting pain down the arm/leg. It felt like electric shocks. I don't recall ever having this happen with my previous TIAs and I am a little confused by this. Thanks - Kristin

Neurological symptoms are associated with transient ischaemic attack and you need to be watchful and monitor your blood pressure levels .Medications have to be taken daily and report to your neurologist regularly.Consult a physical therapist for rehabilitation and be alert if you experience some neurological deficits or progressing weakness.
