What Causes Stiffness In Leg And Foot Along With Numbness?

Since a week or so, have the sensation like if my whole left leg and foot is wrapped tightly in a coating , that s how it feels kind of, is numb and foot and toes cold. I ve been diagnosed with mild MS five or six years ago, but it is first time it feels ths way, maybe MS is not even the cause I feel this, now. Uncomfortable, let me say. I do exercise lifting the leg and rotate my foot but no change at all. I d like not to have to go to emergency, please. I m 61 yrs old.
