Hi @ajabidi, Viral, bacterial and fungal infections affecting the spinal cord may cause transverse myelitis. According to Mayo Clinic, the inflammatory disorder appears after recovery from the infection in most cases.

She was admitted to the hospital due to some pain in her left leg she went in walking but after they gave her Cortizone shot she lost all her sinces from the waste down and after that she was giving a lot of medicines and some physical therapy now she takes lyrica and baclofen
