Is it a stroke ?

[orphanedhawk]

I had a complicated operation overseas, keeping me in surgery for 13 hours, two months ago.
Afterwards my left arm wouldn't work properly. .I had to lift it with the right one and move it and my left hand kept shaking. I broke this arm, two years ago and thought that it was reinjured but since talking with a friend, I wonder if I didn't have a minor stroke while undergoing the surgery. My whole left side felt weak but since my left leg was opened up and a vein removed, I didn't think much about it until now.
Does this sound like a minor stroke?    Any ideas what could have caused this would be of great interest to me.
thanks in advance.                    OH

Thanks for responding   Yes, I do realise that information on the net is only one person's opinion.
I'm in the US and the reason I went abroad for surgery is I don't have insurance.
I just wondered if anyone had anything similar  happen to them.

Hi

There could be a number of explanations for your symptoms.  If you wish to find out, get thoroughly checked out including neurological aspects.  We here on an internet forum can only speculate, as we are not doctors nor have we got any clinical details/examinations.
