Cece wrote:Something that happened in the operating room caused the numb hand? It fits with the same question as those who have immediate improvements: what to make of these immediate changes, when it's been thought that it's the demyelination causing these symptoms, and the demyelination is still there? Did the numb hand happen during the procedure, when the doc could still see the blood flow, or immediately after? For it to happen so quickly, I'd say it was elastic recoil (springing back to original shape), although I don't think this can happen in the stented vein...and the doctor would've seen it if it happened during the procedure itself. I suppose another possibility is if you've ever had a bad reaction to the contrast dye before? Or to the stress of the procedure? Or any anesthesia that was used?
