Highly unlikely that the lower back is causing this, as it sounds more consistent with a peripheral neuropathy. You describe progression. Get a second opinion and try to uncover causation. Alternatively, we could initiate an approach via a HT virtual consult on the paid portion of this website.

I would highly suggest a Nerve Conduction Study to insure that you are not developing Neuropathy, or have another neurologic disorder. Are you Diabetic? Do you drink a lot of Alcohol? Are you vitamin or mineral deficient? Do you have back issues? There are many things that can damage the nerves. You should have this checked and treated before it progresses.
