Yes: It sounds like your symptoms are progressing, so seeing your primary care physician for initial evaluation is a good idea. Based on your history and exam findings, you may be referred to a neurologist. http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/backpain.html , http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/000442.htm
