Why is my doctor sending me for a MRI? My head doesn't even hurt.

I would suggest for you to go to a neurologist, regarding ur inability to feel ur legs. this worries me. I wonder if there is a growth or a certain something that is putting preasure on a certain nerve in your body that is causing this problem.
Also if can, do go for a head scan to search for any abnormabilities...
But, dont worry too much. It might just be a lil virus attack that can be cured instantly. Since I have been given very vauge details on this problem, I would suggest oni this to you and, also, to meet a specialist. Inquire from your doctor to get you to meet a specialist ASAP.

Assuming that diabetes has been ruled out, peripheral circulation is controlled by nerves that dilate or constrict the smooth muscle that lines arteries and veins. If your blood pressure, heart rate, and stroke volume are normal, then peripheral circulatory problems may actually be caused by a neurological problem.
The foot phenomenon you are experiencing is called Raynaud's syndrome, but Raynaud's doesn't affect the bladder. Raynaud's can occur for no apparent reason (primary Raynaud's), and it can also caused by some other type of problem (secondary Raynaud's).
The doctor probably suspects secondary Raynaud's. The bladder wall has a layer of smooth muscle the same as arteries and veins, so the doctor may suspect that the purple feet, and bladder contraction causing you to urinate, are both caused by a neurological condition that is causing constriction of smooth muscles.
I am not a doctor, so this information may not be accurate, so don't take any of this too seriously. It seems to me that these symptoms could be caused by some sort of autoimmune disease such as multiple sclerosis or lupus - but this type of stuff is way beyond my knowledge.

I am not sure what you have, but for urinating frequently? you might have UTI. It is not only diabetes and UTi that causes you to urinate frequently. Stress maybe also be a factor. And go see other doctors not just that one because it might be worse than what you expect. I have read something like that and it was a viral infection and they needed to amputate the girl's legs. So just to be sure go see another doctor and don't lie to him or her. Many patients do this, but that is wrong. Just tell the whole truth, so that he will also be sure of what that might be. Go see a doctor. Also, have you stepped on something rusty? or dirty? that had punctured, scraped, cut your legs of feet? If so you may have tetanus. But to be sure go see another doctor because it might not be tetanus or diabetes.

What are the symptoms of CHF?
The symptoms of CHF vary among individuals according to the particular organ systems involved and depending on the degree to which the rest of the body has "compensated" for the heart muscle weakness. An early symptom of CHF is fatigue. While fatigue is a sensitive indicator of possible underlying CHF, it is obviously a nonspecific symptom that may be caused by many other conditions. The person's ability to exercise may also diminish. Patients may not even sense this decrease and they may subconsciously reduce their activities to accommodate this limitation.
As the body becomes overloaded with fluid from CHF, swelling (edema) of the ankles and legs may be noticed. In addition, fluid may accumulate in the lungs, thereby causing shortness of breath, particularly during exercise and when lying flat. In some instances, patients are awakened at night, gasping for air. Some may be unable to sleep unless sitting upright. The extra fluid in the body may cause increased urination, particularly at night. Accumulation of fluid in the liver and intestines may cause nausea, abdominal pain, and decreased appetite.

Diabetes.
Top Warning Signs of Diabetes:
Both Type I and Type II diabetes share many of the same signs and symptoms. If you notice frequent urination, excessive thirst, unusual fatigue, unexplained weight loss, numbness or tingling of the extremities, blurred vision, dry or itchy skin, recurrent infections, and cuts and bruises that take a long time to heal, you may have diabetes.

You should get your glucose level checked. It could possibly be an onset of type 1 or 2 diabetes. Not to scare you or anything but look up the symptoms and see if u happen to have any of them. But of course that is treatable.

It sounds like diabetes. Your doctor did test your blood sugar, didn't she?
