Don't sweat it Tendon, literally, if you can walk smoothly into the Doctor's office, you should be fine. Take if from me, the numbness in your leg is probably as much a good thing as bad. My leg injuries were much worse than what you describe. I think I would be in more discomfort if all the nerves in my legs were working 100%. Every now and then one of them reconnects just to remind me that they could be working!

After my examination, and stamp in my booklet, my medical included a little interaction with TC, but certainly no problem. It was my broken back, spinal cord injury, and concussion which interested them more than my broken legs and shoulder. I was entirely well treated by the TC staff and Doctor. I was a bit tactical though, I rode my folding bike to the meeting with the TC Doctor, and carried it into the meeting room. I think that helped convince him that though I'm a little less flexible now, I still have what is needed to be a Cat 1 pilot.
