I understand they couldn't find a clot, but how/why did they send you home if you had no pulse/circulation to your hand/arm ?

They told me that they felt there was nothing they could do for me, and that they didn't know what to treat. They had me on heparin to thin my blood and told me to take 325 mg of Aspirin every day to make it easier for my blood to circulate. It hasn't helped, though....

nocyks, what caused your left side to go numb, was there an injury or incident that happened? Do you think or did someone say you may have RSD?

This sounds like neuropathy to me. Do a search on it and see.

There was no injury at all. I was driving my kids to school one day, and my left arm just got very heavy and fell into my lap. Ever since then, things have gone down hill. I've been seeing neurologists, chiropractors, and cardiovascular doctors. They've all told me that it's very interesting but that in all honesty, they are stumped. The cardiovascular doctor told me "I think I have an idea of what it might be...'sympathetic nervous disorder'" Which, he told me has many names CRPS, RSD, etc, and that if the nerve block worked, then he was right. Well, it doesn't appear to have worked to me, and I had it done yesterday. I go back to see the cardiovascular doctor on the 20th. This is all very depressing.
