A member asked:
My left leg below my kneecap (prox tibia area) went completely numb 4 days ago. neurological exam showed diffuse hyperreflexia all tendon groups and sent for brain mri which was normal. now that ms is thankfully ruled out, what could be causing this?

It could be one of many neuro muscular causes and the MD who examined would be the best person to give you an answer

The numbness likely was secondary to an issue with the saphenous nerve, the hyper-reflexia likely associated with anxiety and heightened vigilance. Neither would be indicative of MS, and would discuss your issues with a neurologist if not accomplished so far.
