right i love it i love it too we've talked about symptom one numbness and tingling symptom two persistent swelling and pain after an injury we're gonna go to number three number three is very interesting we're talking now about weakness loss of grip or suddenly dropping things so Dr. Diggis when a patient experiences this symptom Does it usually mean there's a neurologic or neuromuscular issue going on? What can this mean? What can cause these types of symptoms?

Well, one of the more common ones is pain.

If something hurts, you know, a lot of times you get weak real quick.

You know, you get burned, you drop something real quick.

But also if you tweak your back kind of funny, all of a sudden you lose a step.

And so a lot of times, you know, if your thumb hurts or something and you go to pinch something and it hurts, then all of a sudden you drop that or you can't squeeze this tight because your body knows it's going to hurt.

And so pain a lot of times is a big driver of presumed weakness.

What can happen if a patient ignores these types of red flags?
