Hope you dont have MS.
If doctors seem to be acting as if the numbness isnt a big deal, that's because to them, it's not a big deal. Doctors tend to forget that a lot of their patients dont have any medical training. Numbness is not really considered an emergency by doctors. Unless you have something like paralysis or abnormal reflexes accompanying it, or a giant open gaping wound somewhere causing it. Like I said, they forget that most patients dont have the fancypants education that they have. Patients just know that they're numb, it's really uncomfortable and usually very distressing to the patient to be numb. I know I hate it when I'm numb. It usually makes me feel like panicking.
