used to my numbness, and was thankful that at least it hadn't gotten worse. However,

in the last few weeks I've noticed that the numbness has traveled up my leg, along the

outside of both my thighs, between my knees and hips.

What should I do- demand a referral to a....what, a neurologist? I've never been

demanding, and am unsure if that wouldn't be counter-productive. But, I'm thinking that

being passive and hoping that the doctor will pursue the matter in good faith....might just

be futile.

Thoughts?
