It was asymmetrical in my case - higher on the right hip than on the
left. The right leg had the severe problems, excess tone that
twisted my foot at least 30°, the lessened sensitivity to heat and
cold, the screwed up interpretation of sensations. The only effect
more severe on the left leg is the knee-jerking spasticity.

Hi Alton,
Do you think this could happen and affect only one side of the
body? I think this was considered at my initial onset 3 years ago
and the docs decided against it.

There is another condition that wipes the spinal cord without any
evidence of inflammation - a spinal stroke. I believe this
happened to me - a small infarction in a branch artery. A piece of
tissue the size of a rice grain in a sensory tract died and
polluted the neighborhood; in twenty minutes I was paralyzed from
the waist down. Took months to recover motor control, and
spasticity remains today.
