Does Strokes Affect Balance And Hand Finger Coordination?

I am 66 years old and two years ago had strokes 6 months apart. In my opinion I am worse than six months ago with balance being problematic and I find arm and finger coordination poorer than previously. Do stroke conditions worsen over time? Thank you, Jim

Hello

Stroke can certainly affect balance and coordination.
I would advice you to go for a repeat MRI brain to know the extent of brain damage.

Do consult your neurologist.

Thanks.
