Numbness In Right Leg, Hand And No Feeling. What Should Be Done?

My husband was taken by Ambulance to the hospital a month ago. He had numbness in his right leg and hand and no feeling would come back after some massaging at home. Tests included Cat scan, RAdiology to find out if the carotid arteries were plugged, blood tests, The other test under the noisy thing that comes over you, can t remember what it is called. Dr.s say = no stroke . He got itchy and had rash after taking plavix - now is taking something else nearly as good as the plavix they say and is taking something if necessary for his anxiety attacks . Had three on the weekend - when people were around - family - that he knows well but one group - larger - we had to elave. He forgot to tell the Dr. that he has cold hands andcold legs and feet. Need to know if we should consult our doctor - who we just saw on Monday. His nurse called on Wed. to see how my husband was doing. Thought good, but then the cold hands and feet became more of a problem.

I have read your query.

It looks from your details that your husband is suffering from neurological problem.Cold hands & cold foot are the indicator of same disease.This can also be due to inactivity.In condition of stress or anxiety this also happens due to constriction of peripheral blood vessels.
You should not to worry.Your doctor may prescribe some test after complete clinical examination.There are some medicines which can help in reliving this problem by improving distal circulation like pentoxifylline.

Hope this will help you.

With best wishes.
