Brief Answer:
Can be stroke or neural cause.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
Loss of muscle strength in one arm and leg suddenly can be due to stroke or a neural cause. It can also happen due to an injury to spinal cord. Proper evaluation by a neurologist is needed. You can attach your reports of MRI scan to have a better evaluation.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
