Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My husband is extremly weak. He is diabetic, had knee replacement a month ago and had a stroke in oct. The knee is healed up. He is having some pain but going to rehab but we can t seem to get anything to help with the strength. He is still using a walker. The dr says the stroke was very mild. Please help.
Stroke is responsible for the weakness of the muscles as stroke was mild he will regain his strength to 80 to 90% within the 6 months of stroke attack, and please give confidence to the patient that you can do it self confidence will be the best treatment
