Can A Head Injury Cause Weakness On Right Side Of The Body?

I have weakness on my right side from the waist down my leg. I also have limphodema in both legs. I had a head injury last sept on the right side of my forhead and the gash went to my skull. It took 8 internal stitches and 22 external stitches. My doctor did mri s twice to check for build of blood and other complications. I did have blood behind my right eye. That went away in time. Eye doctor oked me. I have noticed I am getting weak on the right side so I requested for therapy to build myself back up. My limphodema can cause this if I don t keep up with it and I was down for a while with the head injury. Can a head injury on the right side cause weakness on the right side of your body?
