Yeah....I'm in my second round of leg numbness. I had it back in 2003 (before I was dx) but it was worse then than it is now. I was numb from the waist down. Completely. It lasted several months.

I've noticed over the years that my right hand/arm is much weaker than my left. Of course, the right side is the side that's numb so I'm sure that has something to do with it.

Your doctor might prescribe a round of steroids to help with the sx if you're having trouble walking.
