A member asked:

Weakness or numbness of the face, arm, or leg on one side of the body.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Neurologist: This warrants an evaluation by a neurologist. Appropriate testing will be done. Concern is for entities like a stroke or lesion of the cerebral cortex in the opposite side of the brain. Multiple sclerosis is a possibility but usually symptoms and signs occur in scattered parts of the bodies in that disorder.
