Feeling Numbness In Leg And Hand. Could It Be Due To Hormone? What Is The Chances Of MS?

It’s unlikely that your symptoms are due to multiple sclerosis. There are several causes that we should be considering including a nerve problem, a metabolic problem or simply menopause related symptoms.
As of now, the following would be the most logical steps ahead:
a. See a physician and get a complete exam to rule out a neurological deficit. Only an exam and some testing can actually reveal early stages of a problem. We would also need a dietary history to rule out a deficiency disorder
b. We’ll need to run some investigations including a complete blood count, peripheral smear, blood sugar, serum creatinine, thyroid function tests, Vit B12 level etc based on recommendation of physician
Let me know if I can address any more concerns
