Right Side Paralysis Recovered. Burning Sensation, Sensory Loss, Severe Nerve In Left Leg. MRI Normal. Which Other Tests Diagnose The Problem And Ozone Therapy Helpful?

Sir I had an accident last year nd got spinal cord injury.remained in paralysis like condition for two months then started recovering.Right side of body which was severely affected recovered almost to normal but problems started developing in left leg which had minimal problem of altered sensation. Now there is severe burning sensation, sensory loss, severe nerve pain in left leg nd it's increasing upside. Initial MRIs showed problem in c4 c5 but very old and experienced family doctor of mine( a physician ) says that he is quite confident that this problem is due to l4-l5 region. Seeing my fresh MRI my neurophysician says that C4-C5 has recovered nd he cannot see any problem elsewhere.the pain will go in natural course. I can feel the problem is increasing day by day. Now I have two questions 1st- Except MRI what are the other tests to exactly diagnose where the problem lies? 2nd- Can ozone therapy be useful in spinal enquiry?

Neurologist,  's  Response
Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
There are three methods to diagnose your problem:
1. Good clinical examination and analysis- can be done by a good neurologist,
2. Nerve conduction studies, including F waves and needle EMG- can be done under the supervision of a neurologist,
3. MRI scan of the whole spine.
Regarding ozone therapy, it is unlikely to be helpful in your case.
I hope it helps.
Please get back if you require any additional information.

Best wishes,
