Post a short recuperation period; the patient has resumed regular day-to-day activities without any complications.
74 year old Mohan Krishna was used to leading an active life. However, over the past year he started to sense heaviness and numbness of both lower limbs. The numbness gradually progressed upwards from the feet to the trunk. In addition he also experienced a sensation around his stomach that felt like a “constricting band” with heaviness. As a result, he had difficulty walking and was having trouble performing day to day activity with his hands such as signing his name.
