I have transverse mylitus it affects my left arm and hand i had steroids a year ago didn't help and still suffering any advice cannot close hand numnes?

I would get: In to see a neurologist. There are medications that can help nerve conduction pain, like gabapentin. You can get caught in an inflammation, muscle spasm, pain cycle which then causes more motor function problems. With a functional impairment consider seeing your doc. Good luck.
