so I waited two years before I mentioned it to a different doctor...and was recommended to a neurologist. Anyway, long story short, my neurologist tells me there's no nerve damage.... but yet I can't feel my right leg or arm well enough to feel my reflexes or my muscles in my upper leg and upper arm.

Is there anything I can do to help my nervous system at all?
