A member asked:
Sharp random pains in/on head and weakness in left arm that comes and goes over the past few months. what could it be? waiting for a neuro consult...

I'm glad you have a: neuro consult scheduled; you need to be seen SOON. If you have true weakness in your left arm (this is sometimes difficult to assess), it would be of great concern to me. It suggests there is some compromise of nerve function in the brain either from a mass growing there (benign or malignant), interruption of blood flow, swelling due to inflammation etc. Get consult moved up!!
