Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
Based on the information provided, the most likely diagnosis is brain
stroke. Neurological deficits in stroke do take time to recover, and it is not unusual to find weakness persisting for a few months.
Regarding a possibility of multiple
sclerosis (MS), it is unlikely, as there seems to be a single episode of neurological illness. In MS, there would be multiple episodes of neurological disturbances.
I hope it helps. Please get back if you require any additional information.
Wishing you good health,
Dr Sudhir Kumar MD (Internal Medicine), DM (Neurology)
