Numbness in right hand and right leg
Dear Doctors, My father who is 72 years of age says that he is experiencing numbness in the right arm and right leg during the morning after waking up, which goes away after sometime. This is not happening regularly but some of the days it is happening like that. Should we be worried or it could be just due to any general / nerve weakness?
