How to treat spinal AVM in my mother who has leg pain and cannot move her legs? - #52899

I understand your concern—your mother’s symptoms are serious. A spinal AVM (arteriovenous malformation) can cause compression, poor blood flow, and nerve damage, which is why she is experiencing leg pain, burning, and complete loss of movement. This is considered a medical emergency, and Ayurveda or home remedies cannot reverse nerve damage caused by a spinal AVM once paralysis has set in. Immediate steps are: she must see a neurologist or neurosurgeon urgently. Imaging like MRI or spinal angiography is essential to assess the AVM’s size, location, and risk of bleeding. Treatment options typically include endovascular embolization, surgery, or focused radiotherapy, depending on the AVM. Early intervention can sometimes prevent further deterioration, though recovery of lost movement varies. Supportive measures while awaiting medical care include: keeping her comfortable, preventing bedsores, gentle physiotherapy for circulation (as advised by a doctor), and ensuring proper nutrition and hydration. Pain management should be guided by her physician. Delay can lead to permanent nerve damage, so urgent hospital evaluation is required. If you want, I can explain what Ayurveda can safely do alongside medical treatment to support recovery and reduce pain, without interfering with urgent care.
