Hi all So I’ve had my first hospital appointment and have been booked in for MRI and nerve tests. Had some physical test done in appointment which my left leg/foot showed signs of spasticity and something else but can’t remember what she called it… Lol At the time I had numb patches on my left leg which she stabbed with a pin and rubbed cotton wool over not sure what this shows but hay ho. Just wondering if this will go down on my record as an episode and be counted in the diagnosis process ? I have today woken up with a completely numb left leg do I go to the doctors and let them know? I hate going to the dr at the best of times and feel that Ive become a bit of a hypercondriac in their eyes 
but I want to get this limbo over with ASAP. Any advice would be gratefully received.
The fact that you have observable damage means that you must have had an attack so yes, it counts, assuming it’s MS. It will only count as one unless there are clear episode(s) in your medical history though. If I were you I would phone the neuro’s secretary and tell him/her about your leg - get it on your hospital record - and ask for advice. If the secretary isn’t helpful, then you could ask your GP to inform the neuro. I’m afraid there isn’t really any treatment for numbness so the GP won’t be able to do anything. If things get worse (ie you are starting a relapse) you could consider steroids if your neuro thinks it’s a good idea. Hopefully it’s just a blip caused by the stress of the appointment and will get better very quickly. Karen x
