Hi, The numbness you mention since the first stroke may be a permanent consequence of the stroke, it is a common occurrence if sensory pathways are permanently damaged. If she was able to walk before though then the past stroke can t be responsible for not walking now, there must be something else as a cause. High blood pressure does not justify that, it does not cause limb paralysis. Another cause must be sought. Another stroke would be the most likely possibility but brain imaging is necessary, not only to differentiate whether an ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke, but also to exclude other possibilities such as tumors. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Olsi Taka, Neurologist
