I have difficulty moving my body when I walk. If I am able to do so, I walk like someone who is drunk. I have been told that the muscles in my right leg are weak. I am doing exercises at home and with a physical therapists but they are not helping. The tumor is on the left side. The therapist says I have to do exercises to strengthen my muscles. I am not dizzy or tipsy and have no pain anywhere. I have not had a stroke either, I have been tested but sometimes I walk like someone who has had a stroke or hip replacement. People ask me if I have had either one and I say "No".
