Neuro , Left Arm Pain Posted: 05-22-07 20:39pm
About a month ago I had some chest pain on
my left side. Then my left arm started
feeling numb and tingle and then the pain
moved throughout my whole arm. That night
I got a headache that was unbearable. I
was holding my head screaming. I rarely
get headaches so it came to me as a
surprise. I saw my doctor everyday that
week and friday of the week I was admitted
to the hospital for tests. I had MRI's and
all. I was found to have a butterfly
vertebra and a flare in my right frontal
lobe. The flare couldnt be found anywhere
else so it was said unknown and nothing to
worry about. I was put on meds for my arm
and the arm stopped hurting. A month later
everything started happening again so I
took a higher does of meds. (neurologists
prescribed). I had more MRI's on my back
to see if the butterfly vertebra was
causing it but it was fine. I now see a
physical therapist but just started so
havent got results. Since then I still get
mild chest pain and I have left arm
weakness. I also seem to get weird
sensations on my left side of my head. The
neurologist said I have neuritis in my arm
but I am only 16 and to young to really
have this! Where should I turn? What could
this be??? I also have aortic stenosis and
that was all checked so my heart is fine.
