Just found out I’ve had a silent mini stroke!

I can empathize with you. I have CSVD also and have had a TIA. During one of my MRI's the neurologist asked me how many lacunar strokes I have had. They apparently showed up on the imaging but I can't pinpoint any specific episodes. It was a surprise to me!

PS I had an ischemic stroke in my Middle CerbralArtery just over 3 years ago. within a month or so after pain started in my left arm and left leg joints burning stabbing pain. no drugs helped. I thinknit is something called Central Post StrokePain, CPSP. tho other acronymns and names can be used.
anyone ever heard of or experienced such pain after their stroke?
thx

It was a shock to me to know I had had 6 strokes. I only know of 2. One morning i woke up with double vision but it went away in 20 minutes and the next day I couldn’t move my left arm for several seconds but that was it. I had anxiety immediately after that one and I have weird anxiety 6 months later. I do not have any lingering affects but tension headaches that I’ve had to go to PT to take care of them and anxiety and depression. This is common after having the strokes. I’m doing pretty good tho. I also have been going to a therapist to help with the anxiety and depression and that has helped. Cannot take antidepressants but therapy does help. I’m better today by far then 6 months ago and Im grateful for that. At my age of 79 CSVD is very common and most people will have it in their 80s. I feel better knowing I’m not the odd duck. Good luck to you
