Stroke Support Group
A stroke is an acute neurologic injury where the blood supply to a part of the brain is interrupted, either by a clot in the artery or if the artery bursts. The brain perfused by that artery no longer receiving oxygen carried by the blood and dying with cessation of function from that part of the brain.
I had a sudden onset brainstem bleed and stroke at the end of June 2017. I suffered from left sided numbness, double vision, and hearing loss. Ive been going to physical therapy ( now released), eye therapy ( now have my driving ability back) and am improving very well. I am back at work. I have yet to see the Neurologist since being discharged from the hospital since they keep rescheduling. My main concern is this pain in my left side, especially my arm and leg. I feel like it is so cold and can hardly stand the touch. Over the counter meds do no good. Ive been going to an accupuncturist for treatment but only getting worse and seems to be more of a money making adventure than treatment. Does anyone have any suggestions for this pain and coldness in my arm and leg?

a year ago. Try going to your internist and see if he has any suggestions. Maybe you can
get a neurologist appointment with someone else? Did you ask the occupational therapist if
this sensation was normal and can anything be done?
