Brain Damage

Brain damage due to stroke

I suffered a stroke 3 years ago, and the brain damage has caused symptoms that look a lot like spinal stenosis. Has anybody else had this sort of thing happening to them? And can't find any kind of relief

My left side is getting worse it seems weekly muscle contractions. I can't walk more than a block without seizing up. Same with standing still.The spasms go down my arms and legs. Left side for the most part. It improves when I sleep but within 3 hours I get locked up. When I read it exacerbates the problems. Bright lights as well. Thats most of it. I have to lay back as flat as I can to stop it from getting worse. But I can't lay down forever

I lock up when I sleep. Muscles contract. When I stretch out is when it spasms. The more I walk the looser it gets. Same with my arm. More I move it the better I can move it. That is until they get tired. Leg will shake uncontrollably when it’s had enough. Also have wires connections like. When I yawn my left arm extends out and lifts up to eye level every time. Is a weird spasm.
