My appointment was made for the 16th but he had strep throat so they rescheduled for the 17th. I went in and explained what was going on. He tested my balance, my strength, my reflexes and my feeling. I noticed differences on my right from my left but at the time i unfortunately did not think to ask if he noticed anything. GRRR!!!
He asked about my headaches i said i get occasional ones and i get maybe a migraine 2x a year. He asked if i have ever noticed a trigger to my numbness, i said no. I also have not noticed any difference in my balance or in my recalling things or speech. He said that he did not see anything really abnormal on the MRI that would draw concern to want to do anymore tests.
So i am for the next 3 weeks i am keeping a headache numbness chart. I will write down when i have a headache. I mark it 3 times a day and what i take if i have one. Then i mark if i have any numbness that day.
Yesterday i had minimal numbness most of the afternoon and a headache at night. But i fear that my allergies and my lame arm might be helping this along :( (i woke up to my arm really really sore and not being able to lift it very well and its just gotten worse might have to go see a doctor if i can't get it to stop hurting)
So for now i am waiting for him to call me back and let me know if i can continue with the surgery. I will let you all know when i find out.
