Default What MS symptoms are considered to be an "emergency"?

Reason I'm asking is that I woke up yesterday with numbness down my right hip and leg (actually starts at about the ribcage and wraps around my back on the right side and stomach...and yes, it goes into an area that I wont mention) Left leg is numb too, but it doesnt seem to go as high as what's going on in the right side.

Today I feel like I'm having problems walking...feel very very stiff. I just got back from taking my mom to her physical therapy appointment (she broke her shoulder in february) and the PT therapist there said it looked like I was limping and that I was not moving my right side very much.

Right now I'm the most worried that I've ever been with an MS symptom before...at least since the first experience I had with ON.

I think this is all stress related (mom's broken shoulder, and some houseguests that cause me a lot of stress)

Before I woke up all numb yesterday, I'd been having some pretty serious pain in my heels. Thought it was plantar fasciitis, but the pain went away yesterday when things went numb. I can feel a bunch of tightness in my feet tho...and I feel like everything is stiff.

Oh...and it feels like it's affecting me in issues relating to using the bathroom.

I called my neuro (he's off today) but I'm waiting for one of the other neuros to call me back in a little bit. Hope they hurry, I'm feeling a lot disturbed by this whole thing.


Oh yeah, saw my neuro last week...was feeling fine except for the numb left hand, doctor told me my MS was in remission. I think he jinxed me or something.
