Stroke Forum - What Can I Expect?

Hi - my husband is 60 years old. Very active. Hard worker and held down a good job. He just had a lacunar stroke. He has paralysis on the left side. This happened about two weeks ago. The left leg is beginning to move now. He is in rehab. His arm has no movement.

Has anyone out there found that movement came back later on even though there was no movement since the stroke. His speech is good, his mind is fine. I am really scared about our future.

Regaining Feling And Mobility

As I understand it. Fellings and mobility may come back anywhere from one day to several years. My father had a stroke and has regained his arm and most facial muscles withing days. The amount of damage often determines the capacity to regain control. The physical therapy perscribed also helps to reconnect and re-train nerve and muscle control.

I wish you the best
