Heavy limbs

Hello.

So it's been 12 months since my injury. My left side still feels heavy and is uncoordinated.

Does it ever feel like my arm again?

Both of my arms used to feel like lead but it did go, I don't know how long it took but they did stop feeling like that. Hopefully yours will too.

I'll be perfectly honest with you, I don't remember precisely, it was 23 years ago for myself. It probably lasted for a months.

Sorry, I can't be any more helpful

It's 15 months since my injury and I still have pins and needles feeling and a swollen hand feeling, when I told my doctor he said it well go , it still hasn't. But every person is different, so it should go I guess 😏
