no change at all, but I'm guessing riding in a car for so many follow up days was not ideal. I made an appointment for a neurologist but it's 3 weeks away. I'm going to try to see my GP much sooner. I'm beginning to wonder if my old bad knee could be so inflamed that it's numbed the rest of my leg? But then I see things like MS online that causes numbness. I just didn't think neuropathy could just take a whole lime in the matter of a few hours?? I'm just terrified my life is over starting with my career. I have felt this many times because of my low back but it just won't wake up this time.

Hello, @gojuman - thinking of you and what you shared about the numbness. How is that going? Did you have your neurology appointment?

@gojuman, I think seeing your GP as soon as possible is a good idea. There is another discussion that might be helpful on Myofascial Release Therapy if it's just a pinched or compressed nerve.

I have no medical training or background but if you think about what neuropathy is as being dead, damaged/injured or pinched nerves that is causing the symptoms, a few of the causes like pinched nerve or an injury to a nerve could cause it to come on quickly and stay on until the cause is addressed if possible.
