Hi
Get mri of the whole spine done with screening and carry out emg ncv studies of the muscles affected.
Along with this you need to consult immunologist for autoimmune disease in which body produces antibodies against own tissues and causing damage to certain tissues.
Along with immunologist meet neurophysician .
Hope above advice will help you.
Get well soon.
Thank you.
