What Causes Numbness In The Right Side Of The Body?
I have numbness on my entire right side of my body, including the head, face, torso, buttocks, thigh and most of calf and foot. I do have chronic hypertension and type 2 diabetes and am currently under doctors care for both. It s been about two weeks and some areas have improved while others have not. No injury to body. Just woke up one day like this. Can obviously still operate and am mobile but this is really getting annoying.
