Weakness numb feeling in left arm and lower left leg and left foot area

by Aaron
(Houston)

Well I knew something wasn't right with the feeling in my arm. It's been about two years since my neck injury... Had two vertebrae bruised in a spinal injury when I fell unconscious.... now my jaws kinda locks up after I yawn... my head kinda shakes uncontrollably a couple times throughout the day... and I wake up to my arms tingling and numb... please help... all the information on this page matches the symptoms I've been feeling... doc say I have bone spurs in neck from injury but that's about it. Im 27 otherwise in good health... the fall was from an overdose of drugs. Thank you in advance.

Hello Aaron,

You are right to be concerned. Firstly, note that all drugs are dangerous, but sometimes are necessary. Try and stay away from medicines. 200 000 people DIE every year from the side-effects of medicines in the USA. DEAD.

Bony spurs at your age are most unusual, and unlikely to cause these symptoms. If it's affecting your legs then I'd recommend a consult with a neurologist. An MRI is indicated. You have what are called 'long tract' signs and it needs to be followed up.

You don't sleep on your tum, do you? That's very bad for your spine and could be contributing to the feelings in the arms in the morning.

The stuff in your jaw is probably unrelated, a TMJ syndrome that needs to be dealt with separately. But that shaking of your head... see a neurologist.

How much cold water fatty fish do you eat? The Omega-3 is vital for your brain, spinal cord and nerves. Eat fish, or take capsules, or both.
