Comments: More likely you have either spinal cord compression or peripheral nerve disorder. Have a neurological exam and track down causation.

See a doctor: There can be a number of reasons for our symptoms- MS, spinal issues, diabetes, inflammatory arthritis (such as rheumatoid), thyroid issues, and other causes of neuropathy. Seeing a doctor can help sort this out for you. Good luck.
