A member asked:
I have one-sided weakness/atrophy. what can i do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
One-sided weakness: Were you evaluated for a stroke? If not, it is imperative that you are immediately evaluated. Otherwise, I recommend you visit a physician who specializes in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. A physiatrist can assist you with the proper orthotics and occupational/physical therapy that you need to optimize your life. Good luck.
