Brief Answer: There is possibility of transient ischemic episode Detailed Answer: Hello, I have studied your case. There is possibility of transient ischemic episode leading to pain in your left arm and eye. You may need clinical examination to confirm neurological weakness, BP and other vital parameters. Another probability is due to compression of this nerve root there is pain radiating to your arm. You may require MRI brain and spine. For these symptoms analgesic and neurotropic medication can be started. Till time, avoid lifting weights, you can consult physiotherapist for help. Physiotherapy like ultrasound and interferential therapy will give quick relief. I will advise to check your vit B12 and vit D3 level. Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. Wishing you good health. Take care

I was not feeling well that day and went to the hospital. I was in for three days. They did blood work and stress. The first one showed a slight abnormality the second was better. I had a blood thinner. I will follow up this week with my GP. I still a little tingling in hands and feet, chest and tired. I just started B12 as you mentioned. Wonder what it was? I will be using your service. Thanks you!
