Hi,
Transverse myelitis is disabling conditions. it is important to know about what is the cause of transverse myelitis. sometimes it is due to inflammatory conditions, viral infection, etc. If no cause is found then it is called idiopathic Transverse myelitis. If it is idiopathic then it is usually doesn't recurs again. In your case, I hope it is Idiopathic transverse myelitis.
Many times after recovery sensory symptoms such as pain and numbness and residual weakness persist. In that case, symptomatic medication such as pregabalin, muscle relaxant, and isometric exercise and physiotherapy will help you. If symptoms worsening or recurring after fever or stressful condition you should visit your family physician. It is important to rule out the recurrence of transverse myelitis and catch the disease early. The reconsidering cause of transverse myelitis is advisable.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
