Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
I have noted your symptoms and diagnosis made by your doctor.
In
spastic paraparesis, there is weakness of both legs and the tone of legs is increased.
MRI of spine is required to find out the cause.
It may be caused by infection such as
tuberculosis or tumors in
spinal cord. In both these conditions, the condition can worsen, if not treated.
On the other hand, if appropriate treatment is given, such as anti-Tb treatment for tuberculosis and surgery in case of tumors, then, we can stop the progression.
Physiotherapy would also be beneficial.
I hope my reply has helped you.
I would be pleased to answer, if you have any follow up queries or if you require any further information.
Best wishes,
Dr Sudhir Kumar MD (Internal Medicine), DM (Neurology)
