Woke up with severe "gone to sleep" pain and numbness in the left shoulder arm and hand, with weakness. It gradually spread to left neck and jaw, then radiated to the right neck, jaw , arm, and hand. Signs of right basal ganglia damage seen on MRI. My Dr thinks it was a small stroke, but this is only the upper extremities, neck and jaw. This was not a unilateral involvement. Could it have been a stroke? The weakness lasted only a hour or two, the pain comes and goes in shooting pain to the left shoulder to elbow and is still present after 8 days. almost all feeling has returned to left arm except for the index finger and half of the left thumb.
