General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,

You are suggested to get her a follow-up medical examination done by a Neurologist. She will have to go through blood tests (D-dimer, etc.) and investigations (X-ray, CT angiography / doppler USG scan, venography, etc.). The tests will help to diagnose the Clot or MS. She will be accordingly treated with medicines along with Physical therapy that will help her improve.

Neglect will worsen the symptoms. Physical therapy will help her to improve the mobility, stimulate nerves and muscles. Massage therapy, speech therapy will be helpful. Orthotic devices will help. Psychotherapy will also be helpful to stabilize her emotional and mental challenges. Wearing compression socks and stockings can also be helpful but response varies from patient to patient. Do not force if is feels uncomfortable.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Nupur K., General & Family Physician
