Default normal EMG/NCV but numb feet

Just finished my EMG/NCV and the neurologist tells me that everything is normal. That, along with the following labs are all normal:

serum immunoelectrophoresis
ANA
ESR
fasting blood sugar
heavy metals
serum B12 (612)
CRP
Lyme (though I know there are some issues with the standard testing)

I am waiting for the results of a lumbar MRI. I'm a little confused... if a nerve was pinched, wouldn't it show up during the nerve studies? The doctor was in a rush as it was just a test, not a normal appointment, he basically said that at the follow-up (end of this month) we can see how things are going and see if any further testing is warranted. At this point he's not too concerned.

I feel.... odd.... because basically I'm being told not to worry, there's nothing "wrong" with my nerves, yet I still have numbness in my feet! I even had absent achilles heel tendon reflexes at my initial appt.

What other questions do I need to be asking this (or another) doctor? Any ideas where I go from here? I think that the physical therapy might be helping, but I'm not sure.

Any insight would be appreciated!
