Can you have a stroke and not know you had one?
 

I couldn't find a stroke section so I thought I'd try here. You can see my checkered past. Since the back surgery (which was great by the way. No pain and I can do a little more with my right leg.) But my new hobby is falling. I don't get dizzy, my legs just refuse to support the trunk. Sometimes it's when I'm walking, other times it's when I have a balance shift, and sometimes it's fine.

Could clearing up the back have unmasked a symptom that's been hiding? Could I have had a small stroke and never knew it? Inquiring minds want to know. (you're dating yourself if you know that quote.)
