Dan- ISI3 study = only 3% of MIs have tingling, 85% have Pain. Tingling is NOT a common sign of MI. Stroke are usually PAIN free. They typically have motor loss, not pain. I would never give you bad information. The folks on this forum have been very kind and helpful to me since my father's fall and quadriplegia. I was just trying to repay the favor. Hope that clarifies a common myth. In Him, Bo Machado MD, FACEP _____

There is no swelling or bruising, and i still can do everything i need throughout the day. Todd, I get this and sometimes my finger tips feel like a thousand needle pricks. Symptoms of heart attack or stroke. I think it's just from being a quad. The next day something else is bugging me. Dianna
