My Father

greenspun.com : LUSENET : About Joints : One Thread

My father just got his MRI results back in on his shoulder, nothing wrong with it, the only problem is that he doesn't have much movement in his left arm, they say he is partially paralized. How does one go from one day just not feeling well and having no shoulder pain, to waking up and going to the emergency room for should pain and then being diagnosed with pancreaitis. How does one become paralized overnight, theres got to be something else going on here. If anyone has anything I'm open to hear what you have to say. thanks

Hi Jeff, the only thing I know of that can cause paralysis overnight is a stroke. Is this a possibility?

No, a stroke was ruled out early, the first time he went to the hospital. I think the people around here just don't know what they are doing or it could be frozen shoulder, I don't know what else to think right now. Thanks for the comments though.
