My husband, 38yrs old was having a stroke and the hospital didn’t know. He had numbness in his left hand and they determined that it was a pinched nerve.

My sympathy to you and your family. I hope that things have improved for you over the past year.
I am entering a comment here, because it is of the utmost importance to know the warning signs.
I am a 76 year old male, and am lucky enough to have a wife that watches my diet very closely. I exercise lightly, and take long walks every day. A couple of weeks ago, I passed out on the street. Before fainting, I telephoned my wife that I was feeling a bit dizzy and she should come and get me. I ended up in the hospital and after spending many hours there, I had been visited by nine doctors. Many tests were performed, blood, EKG, brain scan, etc. The end result was... they didn't know. The tests revealed nothing. So they decided I must have had a stroke. My point is, everyone should definitely read up on the symptoms, irrespective of their ages.
