Default Stroke

My husband just had a stroke on left side. Left arm spasms at bedtime. Has great movement in arm. Any ideas how to calm the spasms?

Warm welcome to you

My hubby had a stroke in July, on the right side of his brain, which affected his left side of his body, including vision.

He is a miracle. He has improved so much. We Thank God for his mercy and healing.

To address your concern about muscle spasm, he may need a muscle relaxer.

We use LED infrared light therapy pads.

Physical therapy can also help sometimes. And occupational therapy may be needed.

Nerve pills or anti anxiety pills may also help.

Ensure is good to drink.

Water is good, too.

Light message may help. I'm sure he'd like that.

Take care of you both for now.
