Dr. Liawaty Ho answered

Specializes in Hematology and Oncology

Specialist or ER: If you are losing feeling in your legs in a rapid fashion- you should call the md and if still not getting attention- go to er. If this has been happening gradually- continue to call your md. If you dont get the attention- ask if you can see another md or referral to specialist like neurologist and perhaps also neurosurgeon.
