Dorsal myelitis is inflammation of the spinal cord, usually caused by the immune system mistakenly attacking it, sometimes after a viral or bacterial infection. Treatment mainly includes high-dose steroids to reduce inflammation, and in some cases, additional therapies like plasma exchange or other immune-modulating treatments may be needed, along with regular physiotherapy to regain strength and mobility. Recovery can take weeks to months, and in some cases longer, depending on severity, with some people having mild residual symptoms. Medicines may include steroids, pain relievers, and nerve-supporting drugs as advised by your doctor. A balanced diet rich in protein, vitamin B12, and vitamin D, along with good hydration, can support healing, and regular follow-up is important for proper recovery.
