OP, no one with a bar card can give you any advice on this. One, if they did, they'd be practicing law without a license in your state more than likely given the conditions of online forums, or two, they'd could be held liable for your actions moving forward. You're essentially asking for legal details on the process of filing a lawsuit which is considered legal advice.
What you're getting, however, is good common sense advice. Emergent care is for when your life is in immediate danger or your physical body is broken to the point that it requires immediate attention. Paralysis in your foot without trauma to initially have caused it is not emergent. I'm sorry to say that, but if it was something such as a heart condition or circulatory failure, it would have spread to other areas first or even just other areas period.
That said, only the patient can determine whether or not the sensations they are having are emergent. No one can tell you not to go to the ER for something; however, I can tell you that it seems you are exhibiting severe anxiety and delusional thinking in many of your posts. That's not meant as criticism, but something that can get better with your mental health provider, providing that you are honest with them about your issues. Most doctors I know that work ER shifts would have referred you to inpatient psychiatric care by now.
If you are still having neuropathy in your foot, you'll need to see your primary care first as has been stated. It's going to be incredibly hard for any doctor to look at your constellation of symptoms and say that it isn't mental or a somatoform disorder. Your brain is very powerful, and more than capable of creating symptoms that do seem very real. Nonetheless, if it is some sort of small fiber or large fiber neuropathy, you'll be sent to a neurologist.
Here's what you can expect from a neurologist: first your PCP will do some neurological assessment. But you may still have the symptoms regardless of turnout, and then they'll refer you. The neurologist will come in and ask you some questions, and then do his assessment. He/she will poke you with sharp and dull objects all over your body to see involuntary responses and assess whether or not you can feel them from those responses and your personal influences on sensation.
If you get past that, they're going to do further testing. They'll strap something on your foot that will get hot like an iron to determine heat sensation; the same device will also create a cooling sensation so they'll know about temperature effects entirely. Another device will erratically press on the ganglion in your big toe to assess sensation. Then they'll test large fiber by sticking a charged catheter into your muscle tissues and reading the body's muscular response to being shocked. If they want to be extremely thorough, they'd do ANS testing, which will test for autonomic dysfunction.
That's firsthand advice on a neurological disorder. I can't feel hot/cold or sharp/dull. My ANS has dysautomnia. If you really have symptoms, go, but I can tell you that it's not fun at all, and if they can't find medical evidence, this will come back on you full swing. Watching a needle go into your leg and having it cause involuntary spasms is painful. At some point, the shock will make your muscle spasm, and that only happens with increased voltage. That hurts like hell.
