Numbness in the left arm, weakness

2017-10-17 23:33:56
Three weeks ago my left arm went completely numb and I was having stabbing pains. I have also been having a lot of headaches. So they did a MRI of my brain and it came back with 6mm descending cerebellar tonsils, suggestive cerebellar tonsillar ectopia and a 15mm right maxillary sinus mucous retention cyst. What does all that mean?

The condition you have described seems to be something called as Chiari malformation. A detailed analysis of the MRI and your symptoms are necessary to make further treatment plans. You should consult a Neurospine specialist.
