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.

Anyone else, like me, experiencing tingling, burning, numbness, and electric-shock-like shooting pains on right side of body? If so, how are you dealing with this? Thanks.

Isn't this fun, eh? It's very common; for me it's the LT side of my neck, shoulder, arm and hand.
Try here: www.centralpain.org
or type in any search engine the words "central pain syndrome" or the words "thalamic pain."
Take care!!

Hi Mary,
I recently rejoined as, (Thankfully) my CP is intermittent, and usually starts up when the temp is below 65.

I get this on both right and left side, my feet (top and bottom), legs, hands and it's progressed to legs, top of feet and hands in the past 3-6 months... much worse than 1, 3, years ago. Dr. says it typically doesn't progress until you're in your later years... guess what... I'm again the exception to the rule.
There are meds they can give you, all make you sleepy until you adjust to them... For me, I either have to be in pain or stay home, take the meds and sleep.

Take care, if there is anything that I can help with, feel free to message me direct.

Hi, Ralph was paralized on the right side, we had him on his feet about the beginning of January 2006. His hand was quite swollen and he could not bend his fingers. The physio people told us not to rub or touch the arm too much because it would give him pain. The doctors put him on a drug called Labeltol? for the tremour in his right hand arm? He can do just about anything with his hands arm and shoulder now, but his hand get really cold sometimes and I do find that it shakes sometimes. I was reducing this med because he is on so much other stuff. I cut him back from 3 to 2 aday and he seems okay, but because of his aphasia and apraxia he can't really tell me if it is the same symptoms that you guys are feeling? He has most of the mobility in his hand back, uses it for everything, the only thing he can't do is to make a tight fist, and I don't know whether he will get it back, but it does'nt make a difference because it does'nt stop him from doing anything. Take care, y'all be kind to yourselves, Joanne

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
