I am hoping for some guidance. over the weekend, I had a problem with my neck and couldn't turn it. I woke up Monday morning and my neck felt better. However, when I went to shower, I could not move my left arm. I have very little muscle control. My family has a history of strokes and I have high cholesterol. I went to see a nurse practitioner, who said give it 2 weeks. I cannot drive and finding it difficult to go about my daily life.
I went to a chiropractor, who I have been to before. He did all the tests and said that my loss of movement is not normal and after an assessment said that I must go back to GP for a scan to see what is happening. He cannot treat me without ruling out a slipped disc.
Has anyone else had or heard of this happening? My signs don't match anything for herniated disc or pinched nerve. Stroke...possibly but no other signs. thoughts are appreciated.
