Question 2

im in my 3rd trimester & i have notice that when im sleeping on either side my arms go numb, & i have been having some leg cramps. is it normal?

Accepted Answer

Staypuff marshmellow: At this stage in pregnancy you are carrying a heavy child, and an enormous amount of circulatory fluid and extra blood so when you sleep on your arm, it too "goes to sleep" from the pressure and temporary obstruction of circulation and nerve compression. Use pillows liberally and change positions often to avoid the problem.

Question 3

i  feel so weakness in my legs?

Accepted Answer

Have it evaluated: The only realistic answer is to have the problem evaluated by your doctor or a neurologist.

Question 4

weakness in lower legs? sign of stroke?

Accepted Answer

Not both legs: It would be unusual for a stroke to affect both legs.
If you are experiencing weakness in your legs, you need prompt attention from your family md for evaluation.
Please see him/her immediately.

Question 5

what could cause left arm and leg weakness?

Accepted Answer

Multiple things: If your left arm and leg are both weak, you can be having or have had a stroke.  Alternatively, brain tumors or seizures can lead to such weakness.  Furthermore, high neck problems (discs, tumors, fractures) that are asymmetric to the left can cause these problems also. These are just a few causes by the way.  See your md for a full workup.

Question 6

what is the best treatment for legs weakness?

Accepted Answer

Depends upon cause: Is you weakness a stamina issue due to de-conditioning?  Or perhaps you have issues with muscle and/or nerve, or do you legs get weaker when walking or exercising?  Under those circumstances, you need to see your doctor and uncover causation so all returns to normal.

Don't wait too long.
