I am wondering if you might be experiencing "the hug" or spasms.
Numbness is a sensory symptom. With my first exacerbation I was numb from the waist down.
I'm not sure I really answered your question

I'm not sure anybody can answer it for sure... not without an MRI! One of my first symptoms was numbness in multiple areas - numbness on the right side, especially. I thought that was brain-related, but it's odd that the numbness starts exactly at the bra line on my right side, and tapers off at the lumbar region. My legs act up on me too, especially my right one.
I've got another appointment with my neuro in May, so I've decided to put up with most of this. All he does when I tell him about symptoms is go 'Hmm' and rap me in various locations with a rubber hammer. If this spasticity thing keeps going, though, I might have to get something for it.
