my left arm has been asleep for two weeks now What should i do I am a 25 year old female and about two weeks ago, the left side of my left hand and up to my elbow had fallen asleep although the pins and needles sensation is gone there is still a strange numbness in my left hand/arm. I went to my doctor and he told me it was a pinched ulner nerve and gave me mobic. I took the medicine and it has not helped. The last two days i have been experiencing blurred vision and loss of coordination and have been told I am slurring when i speak and have been so dizzy that i vomit. I went to the ER and the doctor said it was the mobic causing all the dizziness and to continue taking the medication. I need to know if I am having some sort of stroke or any other possible reasons for all of this.
Hi Emily, Welcome to Chat Doctor. From the history it appears like your Ulnar Nerve is compressed, somewhere in its path. If you have the habit of relaxing with the back of the upper arm pressing on some object, you should avoid that. Usually after having alcohol a bit too much, if you pass out with your arms in odd position, this kind of symptoms can occur. You have not mentioned what all investigations you have done. It would be better if you could get a CT or MRI scan of brain and spine, done. Wish you all the best
