Had a hemmoragic stroke on my right side and at the time while still bleeding rushed to have it drained out, fortunately the bleeding had stopped by the time of arrival to the neurologist so their was no surgery. June 10 2011..through rehab learned to use my left side again however numbness is absolutely extreme especially in my foot as if it was in a vice while someone continually tightening it. My arm/hand is mostly extreme tingling ..it is by the grace of God that I can walk and drive and do just about everything I could before it happened however the extreme numbness doesnt stop. Had nerve test before and was told I had some damage ..if I didnt have any that damn tester sure felt like it did some damage. Please help with any info that will help me!! Been taking my kids to school , picking them up and everything else cause Im a natural worker and can not stand to be just sitting doing nothing. Thalamus is the area where the bleeding occured
HIT hank for asking to ChatDoctorSorry to hear that! Look numbness after the brain stroke is common phenomenon and does not cause any harm to you only thing is it may disturb you, if you are too sensitive to it, once you became a use to it, you won't be disturbed anymore, but it takes time to be used to it, If I would be your Doctor then I would definitely advise you, not to pay any attention toward this feeling as it is not at all danger, have nice life bye
