I noticed my left thigh (and to a lesser extent my calf) is smaller than the right. My left leg is the one with the MS weaknesses and my physical therapist said that since it wasn't working as hard (just kind of along for the ride), the muscles had shrunken.

I'm now working on exercises to strengthen those muscles and hopefully stop their shrinking.
