Yesterday my left arm and hand (from the elbow down to fingers) went clumsy and numb feeling when I awoke. I couldn't even hold a cup of coffee or allow me to type. Today it is a little better but very clumsy feeling and uncordinated. Has anyone ever experienced anything like this? Thank you, Angel

Please call your doctor or the doctor on call to discuss this. It could be many things, there are nerve related issues, and of course blood related issues -some not so good. Don't panic over this answer, but don't wait.
