As soon as you experience numbness, see your Dr. He/she will then refer you to a neurologist. While you're waiting you should research the hell out of your symptoms. The more you know, the better your Dr. can dx.

Symptoms of Transverse Myelitis can come on over a few hours or days/weeks. Acute onset (like mine) was weakness followed by pains in my legs, these then became ‘pins & needles’ typ pains that caused paralysis. Bowel/bladder dysfunction followed, I had a sudden need to evacuate my bladder but had bladder retention (had catheter inserted in hospital). At the point of damage to the spinal cord (lesion), the body is effected from that point down. With a slow onset the symptoms will occur over a long period of time and are more difficult to diagnose.

The horrible pain and weakness, accompanied by paralysis or paresthesia and neuropathy will get you to consult your doctor, who will send you to the hospital.
