Left leg and Left arm unresponsive

I woke up with my left arm and left leg being heavier than my right for atleast 5 mins at 3am in the morning. Its been 5 days since. I could move my limbs but they were extremely stone heavy than right. No tingling or numbness just heavy. I was horrified. I have had a Brain MRI 3 years ago due to anxiety symptoms. It was normal back then. I have had strange symptoms like palm sized pressure in the left side top of my head which happened atleast 7 times last year and then completely stopped. The last pressure episode happened at nov 2025 when I woke up in the morning and suddenly had palm size pressure in the same area with my left index finger and left thumb tingling. It never happened since. However 5 days I had my left leg and arm feeling like it was being pulled stronger by gravity when I woke up randomly at 3am. I am only 22. I have been taking bisoprolol 2.5mg for 3 years due to severe anxiety. That medicine keeps my bp at 104/73, HR at 73 on rest. So far, it's always after sleep.

Restrictive Movements

I had a accident, fall from motorcycle at around 30-40 km/ hr on 24 th May 2026 Had some cuts at knee and feeling of chest muscles tightness/heaviness Couldn’t walk for 2 weeks out of home Then Visited a orthopaedic He gave a medicine etodolac + thiocolchicoside Initial few days were good, but one day suddenly had a panic attack like wanting to throw kicks and hands in the air etc Stopped tooking those medication Now the pain in the muscles and knee has all gone , No problem in walking, etc Clear X-rays But mind feels restrictive or hesitant while going out Like the actions I used to perform before bed rest feels very heavy or sluggish on the mind etc.

Spinal problem

Osteophytes and mild disc dessication. Perineural cysts in proximal sacral spinal canal at the level of $2 vertebra. Mild facet joint arthropathy at l5-$1 level. Subtle posterocentral disc protrusion at L4-L5 and L5-$1 levels causing mild anterior thecal sac indentation however there is no obvious impingement of nerve roots. AP spinal canal (thecal sac) diameter: L1-L2- 13.4mm L2-L3-11.8mm L3-L4 -11.5mm L4-L5-10.5mm L5-S1-10mm Spondylotic degenerative changes in form of loss of cervical lordosis, multilevel small marginal endplate osteophytes and disc dessication. Posterior disc osteophytic complexes from C3-C4 to C6-C7 levels causing mild anterior thecal sac indentation and mild narrowing of spinal canal. Few small perineural cysts are seen in bilateral neural foramina at multiple levels. At C4-C5 & C5-C6 levels, there is mild narrowing of right neural foramen with possible mild impingement of exiting nerve root.

Disc bulge and nerve compression

For more than 1 year I have been suffering from back and left leg pain and numbness in my leg, I went to a spine surgeon and took an MRI and came to know that I have mild to moderate disc bulge along with nerve compression and prescribed a pain killer, muscle relaxant and supplements for a  month. Earlier the pain was more like intense tiredness like pain now the pain which I am having for the last 2 days is like shooting pain going from my buttock to my calf , I don't know if my symptoms are improving or not, I am still getting  pain and numbness and  I am worried that why the pain and numbness is not going. 15 days are left in my medicine to finish the course. Please help, thank you
