I have gone through the attachments you have uploaded.However,there is no evidence of acute transverse myelitis in none of the documents.There was a clinical suspicion,which should have been substantiated with MRI of spine.Did you get the MRI done?If yes-please upload the report.

Complications of Diabetes can also cause weakness in both the legs.Ensure proper treatment and monitoring of his blood sugar levels.

1)How is he now?Has his weakness in lower limbs improved or is it persisting as such?If yes-can he walk?

3)Is there a hostory of loss of sensations(hot,cold,touch) in lower limbs.

Ideally spaeaking,you should have gone to a neurologist by now,so that a formal neurological examination could have been done for the sake of diagnosis.
