Initially I had no feeling whatsoever from the waist down....and it
stayed that way for 2-3 months. When some feeling started to return my
main problem was on my right side which is basically numb with excessive
banding (tightening) in my right leg just above the knee. My left leg
has always been more mobile but also has numbness combined with pins and
needles. Unfortunatley 13+ years later the same problems exist and the
only help is pain meds and channel blockers to try to decrease the
banding which make walking so difficult and fatigueing. So far the 2
drugs that have provided me with the most relief is Marijuana and
Lyrica.
In conclusion after the first year I have had almost no change
whatsoever in my condition. As like most TM'rs I have just learned to
adapt as best I can!

I have a question for those of you who were originally diagnosed with TM
and having lesions from T7-T10 on one side of your spine.
1. Did you lose feeling just on one side from your waist down?
2. After a couple years or more, did you start having trouble with your
opposite leg? (Tingling and tightness)
I would appreciate hearing back from you.
