Does your leg ever feel "off"- like it feels as if it is numb, but it isn't? My right leg feels almost heavy and noticeably different from the left. What is this considered and does anybody know what I'm talking about ?

Hi everyone, I’m new here so I’ll just tell you a bit about myself. I was struck down with secondary progressive ms in 2016 with no warning a numb big toe on Sunday and paralysis to my left side by the Thursday! Do any of you guys have a sibling or family member who has ms ? I’ve been told it isn’t hereditary, but my sister had it before me and very sadly she passed away in February 2021, to advanced ms and Covid pneumonitis 😢
