A member asked:

Are any special tests needed, or can a regular doctor see me for my numbness?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Go to your PCP: Go to your primary care physician. They can asses if your numbness is due to something they can easily treat and manage for you. If it is something more complicated, they can refer you to a specialist.
