Radicular pain: The pattern suggests a pinched nerve and the fact that both arm and leg are weak are worrisome for multiple level lesions. There is a sense of urgency as if not addressed quickly, symptoms tend to worsen and may result in significant loss of function. Your GP should be aware of your symptoms.
