Stroke signs

What are the signs of stroke in the leg?

[Dizzytwo Moderator]

Although strokes typically occur without warning, some people may feel a temporary numbness, weakness or tingling in one arm or leg, or problems with speech, vision or balance before the actual onset of the stroke. ... However, a TIA is a sign that the risk of a permanent stroke is great. TIA is an emergency.

If you are having concerns may I suggest you call your GP now. Or phone an ambulance.

TIA precludes a stroke as there all TIA's but if not broken up by the bodies system and lodges it becomes a stroke as prevents blood flow

Many have TIA's but never know as dealt with it's only ones that become major that you notice.

Do you suspect you have a blood clot in your leg ? If so you need to go to hospital and they will scan it ( ultrasound) Don't delay.

My daughter had a clot in her leg after giving birth. Her leg was swollen, looked red. She was scanned, given blood thinning injections and was fine.
