Hi, bettyboowho!

Unfortunately, no one here can diagnose what might be happening to you. Are you able to get to a doctor?

Thanks!

My sister who is 55 yrs old woke up with numbness on her right side and trouble walking. After a few days, she still has the numbness. She went to the hospital and they took a CT scan in the hospital. The hospital told her its nothing. Something that hardened in the lower part of her cerebellum. But nothing to worry about. She is 55, overweight, and on the verge of diabeties. I think it's a small blood clot or narrowing of the arterties, but I am not a dr. Could taking an asparin a day work? And why is she having the numbness with the wobbly walking?

Betty, it may be something very mild, or more serious like a stroke. You need to get this diagnosed by a doctor now.

Who has the numbness--you or your sister?

She went to the hospital and they took a CT scan in the hospital. The hospital told her its nothing.
The hospital doesn't report to the patient; the doctor does.

why is she having the numbness with the wobbly walking?
It's time for a second opinion. Take the scan pictures to another doctor.
