I have numbness in the left foot and left buttock. Left hand and left arm are only 80% as sensitive (to touch or scratch) as right hand and right arm.
Numbness of left foot centers around the toes. As for the left buttock, numbness is felt, when I sit (When I drive, I have to sit on the right buttock).
When I scratch the left arm (fingertips to shoulder, that is) with right finger nails, I feel 80 % the sensation on the left arm (compared with 100% sensation on the right arm, if I scratch it with left finger nails).
CT scan of the head: result normal. MRI of the head: result normal. No trace of stroke or TIA. EMG: result normal. MRI of spine: result normal. No pinched nerve either.
My right foot, right buttock, right hand all feel all right.
Other than high blood pressure, I'm basically healthy.
What could have caused this condition?
Is there any test that can tell what's causing this?
Is there any medication or treatment that can relieve this condition?
If anyone has had similar experience, I would like to hear from you. Or anyone who's knowledgeable about this, please drop me a word.
This problem has dogged me for months.
Thanks for hearing my beef.
