A member asked:

For the last year i have had numbness and feeling weak or slow on my left side arm and leg. asked my doctor and they shrugged it off :(?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

I would not discount: Sometimes people have subjective neurologic symptoms that a neurologic exam will not always verify; but this could be insidious onset of a brain tumor, a-v malformation, m.S. Or others. It needs follow up and some tests.
