Numb On One Side

[KnottedYet]

The odd bit is that it is her left leg and left arm that both are going numb when she gets off the trainer.

And it's interesting that it's when she gets off the trainer, not while she's on it.

The isolateral symptoms sound out CNS. The change from exercise to rest (off the trainer) sounds out vascular/bp related. Sensory but not motor also sounds out CNS. A pinched nerve hits both sensory and motor.

With a history of severe migraine, the vascular stuff is a juicy place to look. And with the positional stress on the blood vessels to the brain on a stationary bike (neck position not changing like it would IRL) that's another reason to look at vascular effects.

Generally the docs get all excited about this kind of symptom cluster and start hollering for MRIs, at the least to cover their @$$es. Migraineurs know the drill...
