A member asked:

From my head to toe on the right side of my body is numb.. what can it be ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Neurological: Numbness in the entire right side of your body would be caused by a neurological problem in the left side of the brain(cerebral cortex). A type of stroke or multiple sclerosis are some possible causes. A neurologist is best qualified to evaluate you.
