Could the symptoms of stiff neck and dragging of hands be the symptoms of stroke?
Patient: Three weeks ago my boyfriend who is 33 had a stiff neck and we thought he pulled some muscles.  We provided him with a better pillow and after a week symptoms went away.  Today he went to reach into the cupboard for something and his hand kept pulling to the right instead of where his eyes and brain anticipated by about three inches. After discussion he admitted that he had felt pulling to the right.  My fear is that this is related and neurological but his new job does not cover him for insurance for one more week.  If these are stroke symptoms we will need to act quickly. Thank you for your time. Doctor: Could be but doesnt seem so this.could be a problem in the cervical spine please get a Mri of the cervical spine done and let s see after the results are in
