A member asked:

I'm right handed and while playing badminton, my left hand and arm became very cold for a short time. any ideas?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Temperature change: Sound like a cervical radiculopathy left side of your neck. See either an orthopedist that specializes in neck problems, or neurologist to see if you have a cervical nerve compression on your left side. These nerve traumas can get worse over time so don't delay. Good luck
