What Causes Weakness On The Left Side Of The Body?
I fell about 3 months ago. I don t know how it happened. I woke up on the floor and it was almost impossible to get up. I had a bump on the left side of my head - about 2 inches from the center top part of my head. I could tell it had been bumped and tender but did not really hurt and went away in about 2 weeks. Then I noticed my left toe was bending inward but not my right. Now my left side is weak and I need to pay attention because I start leaning toward the left. I don t notice i when I m not walking down a hallway or when I m out shopping. Could I have a blood clot that I should see a doctor about?

Hello,
Yes, this could be the sign of a stroke or other problem in your brain. Please see a doctor as soon as possible for an exam and testing.
