Numbness= perception: You feel numb but no one around can tell? It is common neurological symptom from nerve problem, neuropathy than from brain like ms ---but change in blood flow, electrolyte like low potasium or simple hyperventilation cause numbness.

See neurologist: I would think this not to be MS, and rather the start of a peripheral neuropathy. This is likely a minor issue at this point, and could be caused by many disorders. But worthy of full scale evaluation. "ounce of prevention"
