I wouldn't go by what the ER doctor tells you, I would see what your pcp tells you if you feel comfortable with him. If not find a pcp that you do feel good about.

Get a real diagnosis either from the pcp or from an orthopedic specialist and go from there. Lots of different things can cause pain and numbness, they all have different treatments. Once you get a diagnosis, maybe we will be able to help you more.

Take care, Annette
