Hi,
about 8 weeks ago, my wife (28 yrs old) developed a slight pain in her left foot, quickly followed by some swelling in her left calf. About a week later, she lost all power in her left foot (symptomatic of drop foot). Over the next 3 weeks or so, she eventually lost all feeling in her left leg and the muscle & tissue began to waste. In the last three weeks, an mri, ct scan, lumbar puncture and visits to three neurologists have drawn a blank! The last consultant advised her that it was very unlikely she's ever be able to walk correctly again. I'd appreciate any suggestions as to what to try next.
Yours thankfully,
fmc
