A 35-year-old female presents with a history of multiple sclerosis (MS). The patient has developed weakness in the left leg and is unable to walk without support. Her vital signs are as follows:
- BP: 123/80
- R: 18
- P: 74
- Wt: 278 lbs
- O2 sat: 95
Upon physical examination, slight weakness is noted in bilateral upper extremities, but the left lower extremity has very little active strength and does not support the patient’s weight. There is also 3+ bilateral lower extremity edema. Pain is noted in the left lower extremity upon palpation of the thigh. The patient reports a fall early this morning when attempting to bear weight.
Considering the information provided in the case study, list your differential diagnoses. Differential diagnoses are the potential causes of the patient’s medical issue.
