Comments for Getting Worse Not Better After Stroke
Stroke


I had a stroke 3 years ago. I have noticed in the last month my memory is getting worse. My thinking ability and my balance have gotten worse, I fall a lot. Plus my legs stay swollen all the time and some days my legs will hardly move, and they hurt all the time. What do I do? Thanks
