Often at night while lying on my left side I also get numbness in my chest on the left side and sometimes chest pain. Last night was the worst I ever experienced with numbness all along my left side from head to foot. I was also dizzy, felt some nausea and had some trouble speaking.

Now after two days of feeling okay, I was laying down and started having a pressure/ pain feeling in my chest on the left side, after me relaxing trying to let it pass for 10 minutes, my left forearm started feeling a little pain or numbness.

All the tests they performed came back normal and they sent us on our way!

He doesnt have insurance and around where we live its hard to get seen by a doctor if you dont have insurance so we havent followed up with anyone. He also complains of a weekness on the left side and he doesnt know what to think about the pain. Does anyone have any suggestions????
He said the symptoms tied up with the area she was getting the pain in, numbness in the left arm, pain in the armpit, pins and needles, and worryingly pain in the chest on the left side. After treatment - manipulation, massage etc, her left eyelid now droops, and the pain is chronic. The GP has referred her for a below neck scan and prescribed Tramadol which gives her migraines.
Is this a nerve problem, spinal, or something sinister elsewhere?
I haven't posted in a loooong time. I am still undx'd and when I get frustrated, will sort of grin and bear it fotr a while. I have a question about the numbness/pain/stiffness assoc. with MS.

My husband is 32 years old in great shape and has been having chest pain, upper left back pain, lower abdominal and side pain, and shooting pain down his left arm with some numbness. He has been dealing with these symptoms for a while now and keeps going to the doctor and running all these tests and nothing. Yesterday, while he was at work he had to leave and go to the e.r. and of course nothing, they told him to go to his doctor. which is what we have been doing.
Scalp, face, neck, back, chest, stomach, hip, pelvic, leg, ankle. Again this is only the left side.. Within the past year I have had vertigo and ringing of the ears.. Test show nothing and were all inconclusive. MRI of the brain - nothing.. Right eye became droopy (tposis) a year ago... nothing to indicate why -- unexplained tissue damages... vertigo and ringing went away 7 months ago and now this.. I can't help but to think it's all related.. No weakness in my limbs...
I have tingling,numbness and some weakness in my leg, but I think its permanent damage from my back and unlike you it on the opposite side of the pain caused by my neck. Spondylosis is just a guess.
What do your Neurologist and Surgeon think is causing your problem and what do they think about the correlation between the neck problems and the leg weakness? Do they think the surgery with help with your leg symptoms?
My understanding of nerve structure leaves me (and everyone else it seems) bewildered by the numbness and pain, as it occurs in my left leg and left arm at the same time. The MRI I had looked for a trapped nerve in my cervical spine, they found nothing, though the specialist did say due to the on and off nature of the numbness the result wasn't concrete. But based on my understand a trapped nerve in the cervical spine cannot cause numbness in the left leg?
I had a emergancy c-section back in july 2010 and ever since i have been suffering problems left sided chest pain and pain behind the left knee and upper left leg.
