Welcome to NT

My mom has had a stroke, with left-sided paralysis. She don't have pain, thank God, and never has had a lot of pain on that side from the stroke. she has numbness and tingling.

It's comforting to know she has all those "normals." That's the good news.

A good neurologist should give you the correct dx.

I'm thinking it could be bulges or herniations in her cervical spine, but you said her MRI was normal. (MRIs are a definitive diagnostic tool, but not 100 percent - they do micro slicing - not every inch of the neck. There's also mylograms that show more details)

Although bulges or herniations could cause her to be out of whack and be a little dizzy, that could be positional vertigo, meniere's disease or equalibrium problems (inner ear). she can have more than one dx. I have had pain behind my right eye from my neck injuries. I would have headaches on that side pretty bad. I also think my neck was causing a lot of my back pain, because the cervical epidurals X3 helped my back, a lot. I also had pain from the top of my head to my foot, on the right side... and when I would walk on concrete, I could feel the unpleasant impact of my foot to the top of my head. I also think my scalenes are causing some lack of oxygen to the brain issues. Not confirmed by a doctor, but when I drive too far and upset my arms and scalenes, I can't think straight that evening.

Did she have a brain MRI or myelogram yet. There could be some kind of occlusion some way that could cause all that.

It was also suspected that I might have unilateral MS (one-sided), which can happen, but my problems were caused by an auto accident.

Just my thoughts...

Keep us posted.
