Medical Conditions - Transverse Myelitis

Transverse myelitis is a neurological disorder in which inflammation occurs on both sides of one section of the spinal cord. It interrupts the transmission of messages from the spinal cord throughout the body. Symptoms include sharp, shooting, and abnormal sensations such as burning, pricking, tickling, numbness, and tingling, lower back pain that radiates down the legs, arms, or torso, and sensory loss. No permanent cure is available, but the treatment focuses on managing the inflammation and involves steroids and plasma therapy.
