Suggest Treatment For Balancing Issues And Weakness In Left Leg

Although my Right leg feels strong, my left leg seems weaker and provides poor balance. The left leg feels cold, cool to the touch, like it has poor circulation? In the winter, my left leg always feels cold, but this summer, it s feeling cold also. There are no noticeable marks or injuries to my recollection.

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Weakness in left leg and balance issues are commonly seen with brain diseases like ischemic brain stroke.
So better to consult neurologist and get done clinical examination and MRI of brain to rule out brain related diseases.
If this is normal then get done MRI spine to rule out lumber spine pathology as this can also cause unilateral leg symptoms.
So first diagnose the cause and then start appropriate treatment.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
