My Mother had a small stroke May 30th affecting her right leg. She is able to use a walker. After exercising she says her leg feels weak, muscles hurt and she will take days off from exercising. Is this normal. Should she exercise the following day if her muscles are sore?
Dear patient Stroke leads to weakness of one or both sided upper or lower limbs' affection with weakness. This usually recovers with physiotherapy and exercise. And physiotherapy is must for early and complete recovery.  So even if she feels sore she should go for exercise for speedy recovery and so that her muscles do not get wasted.
