What could cause numbness and loss of force? my last emg showed muscular recruitment at 50%, the rest of the test is normal, and also the other tests

Sensory motor neurop: It sounds like you have a sensory motor neuropathy. I do not buy that your nerve conduction 0 otherwise normal. The problem with EMG test, like eg is that it is very subjective. Some doctors are just too conservative, and tend to under retest. Some just don't know how to read him at all. I would get a second opinion.
