See a spinal doctor!: One of my attending physicians had this when i was a resident. There was a benign tumor pressing on his spinal cord. It was removed and he's been fine ever since! by the way, this was 28 years ago.

Rule out : Nerve impingement in back. Consider emg/ncv testing usually performed by neurologist or a physiatrist.
