Numbness On Right Side of Body Posted: 08-24-03 13:50pm
I have a friend that has been experiencing
numbness and muscle atrophy on just her
right side. They have tested her for ms,
lupus and other such conditions. She
slowly is getting sensation back in her
arms, but cannot lift weights like she
used to with her right arm and leg. Her
shoulder muscles have weakened and the
same in her legs. Does anyone know what
this could possibly be or point me in some
direction to help her. Doctors have done
blood work numerous times and it has come
back normal, her mri's are all normal.
The doc's have no explanation for her, one
said it was psychosomatic. Any
suggestions could be greatly appreciated.
Supposedly she has no pinched nerves,
nothing that is visible for a diagnosis.
Thanks for your help.

So very sorry no one even came here to say
hello and welcome to eHealth.....I am here
now. I do hope your friend has found out
the cause of her muscle weakness. I also
hope jstarr13 will return to eHealth.
