Hi,

Brown-Séquard syndrome is an incomplete spinal cord lesion characterized by a clinical picture reflecting hemisection of the spinal cord, often in the cervical cord region.

Since you are symtomatic now ( recent worsening on old) a short course of steroid can alleviate your symptoms

You also require neuralgic drugs like pregablin and methycobal for long term period if you have persistent symptoms

Consult neurologist/ neurosurgeon for same

Hope this will help you
