I am a 31 year old woman and half of my tongue is numb....not completly but enough that is it anyoning.
I saw my primary and she did some office exams...llike touch your nose then my finger...I wasnt able to touch her finger correctly with my right hand.... when standing completly still with my eyes close....I began to slowly lean over to the right side and I did not notice it until I was off balance.u know stuff like that and on the right side of my body is different then the other.
I feel like I have a extra layer of skin on the right side so although my right side is not numb it is different. My MD said that she doesnt think its bells palsy (which I had about 5 1/2 years ago) So I am a worried. She did mention aneruisum and MS. I am very worried.... I would perfer bells pasly over anything else. My MD has order an ekg, blood work, MRI for my head, neck and brain and an echocardiogram. Anything else you would recommend??
Please respond with your medical thoughts on what you think.
Jim,
the nerve responsable about the sensitive innervation of your thumb is compressed, it most probably need to be liberated.
