Hey everyone,

I have another question. I am going on week 8 of being diagnosed with  
TM. I am able to walk and use my legs, although my left leg seems to  
be impacted the most. It is very weak, and I have a tedancy to lose my  
balace sometimes. I can usually walk without a cane, but I typically  
use one just to be safe. I started PT this week, which involves a lot  
of leg exercises, using my ab lounger to strenghten my core, pushups  
against a wall to strengthen my upper body, and riding a stationary  
bike for 15 minutes. I do this every day and can tell a big difference  
in the strength of my left leg. Although my question is on something  
totaly different. My TM hit the conus of my spinal cord around T12- 
L1.  Which is the area of the spinal cord that controls all functions  
of the lower part of the body.  I slept last night on my right side  
and woke up this morning and I can't feel half of my left hand. Has  
this happened to anyone else before, or have some suggestions on what  
may have caused this. Especially since my TM has not affected my upper  
body at all to this point. Thanks.
