What Causes Numbness On Left Side Under Stress?
I ve been dealing with complete left side numbness for almost 3 years, first thoughts were stroke or MS. I ve had several tests, X-Rays, MRI s, Cat Scan, Spinal Taps, blood work etc. Prior to this condition I was taking benzo meds for sleep problems and also under alot of stress. Sleeping and stress have been much better for quite sometime, but my symptoms continues to haunt me.

Hi,
According to me, numbness on right side may be due to compression of nerves when they exit spinal cord which may cause numbness on one side. Better get MRI whole spine and EMG and NCV studies done. Consult spine surgeon.
Thank you. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
