I don't know if we're right, but I agree with Cheri.

I've always heard that with an AN your balance adjusts itself and the "good" side learns to compensate for the "bad" side.  I've found it to be true.

Sounds like what you're going through.  In time it should even itself out.

Hang in there,

I don't actually "make" trouble..just kind of attract it, fine tune it, and apply it in new and exciting ways

Jazzfunk,
Are you right or left handed and what side was your AN on? We all have a dominant side.  I am right handed with a left AN so naturally my left side was weaker.  I think If my AN had been on my right side I might have had a harder time compensating since my left side was my naturally non-dominant side. Keep practicing your "bobblehead strut." It is really a great exercise!
