Muscle help!

Lately I have had an issue with my arm and leg. When I walk, my right leg feels like it has gone numb and i feel as though I look as though I'm waddling. My hand also goes 'dead' where I cant type and I cant write. When my hand goes like this, I get a menthol type feeling in my mouth and nose. It feels like I smelled petrol or something. Has anyone ever experienced this?

That is a strange experience ,the menthol taste do you have any other neurological disorders migraine? Epilepsy? The muscle and numbness issues are common with myelopathy but it's worth getting a medical opinion just to be sure.
