Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
I am Dr Sudhir Kumar, Neurologist, and would try my best to help you.
I have noted the clinical details. Based on this, it is long standing hemiparesis. The brain damage is irreversible and we do not expect a cure. Some improvement may happen with physiotherapy and exercises. There is no surgery and no hospitalisation is needed.
I sincerely hope my reply has helped you.
I would be pleased to answer, if you have any follow up queries or if you require any further information.
