Can Transverse Myeltis Cause Mouth Sores And Stomach Cramps?

I recently developed a sore inside my mouth, between my lower lip and gums - tonight, my lower lip is also numb and tingly. I have transverse myeltis and have been having some severe stomach cramping and swelling - not sure if the two are related, but really becoming worrisome.

Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.

First of all, I would like to reassure you that the mouth sores are not connected or related to transverse myelitis.

In transverse myelitis, there is viral infection of the spinal cord, leading to weakness of legs and arms.

These mouth sores could be related to vitamin deficiency or bacterial infection. Please discuss this with your doctor.

I hope my reply has helped you.

I would be pleased to answer, if you have any follow up queries or if you require any further information.
     
Best wishes,
