It happens to me all the time! The worst thing you can do is sit down for too long. Drink more fluids (dehydration makes the stiffness worse) and try moving around a bit. I haven’t found the magic bullet for this (more’s the pity - I’d be living in Barbados by now!) You just have to go with the flow.

Stroke recovery is full of ups and downs but it is positive that you have had some movement back at times. Hopefully the length of time it is like that will increase over time. Watch out for fatigue though as that probably doesn’t help. Try not to overdo it on the days you feel a bit better. 7 weeks is very early still.
