My left leg is much weaker than my right. I have more trouble with the left in general (leg, MS hug, arms, and eye). I don't have any suggestions on how to deal with the symptom. I usually just try to shift my weight more to the center or right so I am not putting a lot of weight on the left. It's probably not the right thing to do and an OT or PT may suggest other things but I just seem to do it naturally.
Thank you tkrik, I think we both discussed this one before, though it was a long time back so I could be wrong.

Your left side as well? I've had the same as you've mentioned on my left too, almost all activity seems exclusive to my left side. The one thing I haven't had that you mention is MS hug (to my knowledge at least). My eye though... when hit with Optic Neuritis it was the left one.
