Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I am a relatively healthy guy 48. The issue I have is that my left arm and leg are significantly weaker than the right side. No injuries, and I understand how one side is stronger. But there is a significant differance. I find it harder now to lift relatively light items with my left arm now, and lower muscle mas on both the arm and leg (left side)
it is best if you consult with a doctor, preferably a neurologist, for physical examination and clinical evaluation, with urgency. you might have recently suffered from a mild stroke or a transient ischemic attack. diagnostics (such as cranial ct-scan and blood works) will be requested as needed. management (medical and rehabilitation process) will be directed accordingly.
hope this helps.
good day!!
