Four days ago, my 47-year-old sister, who is about 60 lbs. overweight, developed numbness from the middle of her right breast down to her right toe. The leg will bear no weight. She can feel if you ***** her with your fingernail, but she is othewide numb. She can lift it, and it immediately fall onto the bed.
She has no symptoms in her arms or hands. A CAT scan shows no abnormalities. She does have pain in her back. The hospital has released her and sent her home. She is perfectly normal, not feeling ill at all, but she can no longer walk with a walker, and she said two small spots on her left leg are beginning to feel numb.
If you have ever heard of such sypmtoms, please let me know. We are very concerned. Thank you.
