My mother was doing ok up until a few weeks ago. it started with numbness in hands and feeling like they were asleep. now, she is unable to use them at all. cant feed herself or comb her hair and is super weak all over. ?

Doctor, ER can check: Generally, if a patient is rapidly losing function of one or more limbs, that is an emergency and can be evaluated in the ER... unless the cause is already known and loss of function has been expected. If loss of function is slow and gradual, a patient can usually be evaluated as an outpatient unless weakness has become dangerous such as in difficulty swallowing or difficulty breathing.
