I am an 18 year old female that has had some neurological symptoms as of the past two and a half months.
It started off with sudden weakness of my left arm. I was able to use it still, but it was extremely weak and movement was hard at first. It started in my upper arm and then went down to my hand. I went to the ER for it as sudden weakness can be the result of a stroke and everything was okay according to an MRI I had done other than a lesion found.
The weakness feeling then spread to my left leg throughout the next couple of weeks. There has been a strange stiffness in both my arm and leg at the elbow and ankle joints on just the left side. My right side is completely normal.
The weakness hasn’t necessarily gotten worse but it hasn’t gotten better either. It’s just really consistent. I also went to a Neurologist as well and he did a brief neuro exam and I guess he didn’t seem too concerned about it. I’ve also have had tingling and pains alongside the stiffness.
I also haven’t had any throat problems other than globus and perceived slurred speech, but it resolved quickly.
Other than these symptoms I haven’t had anything else going on, but I am a little concerned about it.
