Said something had to be wrong. I keep losing my balance and my muscles in my legs are getting weaker and weaker <on my left side> the one that was affected from the stroke.
What kind of doc is this? Have you seen a neurologist? Have you had an EMG (because of the asymmetrical leg weakness). They seem to be assuming a brain problem.
