My left leg is thinner than the right, and the left is my weakest side.

My physio said that although it's likely the thinness is due to muscle wasting, is also feasable that the muscles on the right have developed more, to compensate for my left leg weakness.

My left leg is thinner than the right leg, please help

My right hand is bigger than my left. My right foot is bigger than my left (just a bit, but enough) Its a common thing for people to not be equal, but if this is a NEW thing, its time to tell your MD.

PT, and other exercises may be able to help.

It may just be that your muscles are built up on the other side to compensate for lack of use from the weak side. we tend to naturally compensate when a peice of our body slows. The blind have extraordinary hearing. Those who have had a stroke can learn to write with the other hand.

my right calf is larger than my left...neuro said it's from the leg compensating for the neuro damage. That's the leg with foot drop.

Hi Balbi,
Welcome!
I am glad that you posted about this because a lot of us have that problem.

I found that both my leg muscles didn't have the same look as they used to have, so I used a Wobble board to help develop them and my balanced has also been helped by the board too.

This may help you too if you can use it safely, and your doctor allows it.

Nice to meet you.

Hi Balbi, and welcome to NT! This is such a great place with so many caring, friendly, and helpful people.

We're so glad you found us!

Lady: The Wobble board sounds interesting. Anything to help my balance!
