Hello
I am three months post an urgent coil and web device procedure for a Right MCA anuerysm. It was felt I had a sentinal bleed.
I have had Left arm and leg heaviness but normal strength since. Also fatigue +++ No one seemed concerned as no evidence of stroke.
Has anyone experienced anything similar? Starting to feel anxious that I am an attention seeker.
Thank you
Welcome and thanks for starting a new topic. For many of us, after a procedure we often feel fatigued for months. Although some members can snap back within a few weeks, some do struggle. Basic things to look at would be proper hydration, diet and exercise.
If the specialists have decided you’ve not had a stroke, have they looked at a vascular cause or maybe a pinched nerve in the neck? I’ve got a vertebrae that has liked to do interesting things to my right hand and arm when it pinches that nerve. Even here in the States, we often find ourselves needing a referral to a specialist. 2-3 years ago, I buggered my neck and shoulder. I think it went PCP to Ortho had an X-ray he wanted me to start taking shots said nothing wrong with the shoulder, I may have had an appointment with my NP for the neurologist, went to my NP for my neurosurgeon. She had to order a nerve conduction study in order to get approval from my insurance for a MRI. NCS suggested pinched nerve. I can honestly share my experience with those tests, the first one I had was for my lower back where I’ve had my fusion. It was fine, pain was more than tolerable. The Fellow Resident, Resident Fellow or is it just Fellow? She would do a part of it starting at my hand, walk out and speak to the Dr., come back and do another part, walk out. At one point I told her when she came back in that I was really happy she wasn’t wearing black with a leather crop in her hand. Pinched nerve, three torn ligaments or tendons, I forget which, maybe both. Sent to another orthopedic surgeon who said each thing by themselves was fixable separately, he didn’t know what to do for all of it together. Didn’t suggest a course of action. My NP sent orders for PT, Neurosurgeon knows I’d rather not have any more surgeries of any kind.
I hope you get to feeling better. Please let us know what your doctor says.
