A member asked:

Should your weaker side feel completely different than your dominant side? sometimes my left side (arm and leg) feels weak and just weird all around.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Only slightly: U are right hand dominant so the left hand can feel clumsy and uncoordinated. Try to maximize your ability to use both hands. I never regretted learning to write with both right and left hands!! @Ambidexter
