Escalating numbness in extremities and now weakness, and shaking

I've been having numbness starting in my right toes 7 months ago and now most of my right leg, And also around a month from when it started in my toes, the same progression in my left hand spreading to arm and foot and leg. I'm left handed so the hand weakness has made it hard to write at times. One to two days before the initial numbness I had an extremely sharp back pain that lasted about one minute and was fine afterwards, but I had never felt anything like it and only remember it because i was in a Hotel room before a ski trip.

Now over the last month in certain positions (like holding an item or sitting with my legs bent normally) they will very quickly fall asleep. Sitting on a stool does it to my legs and folding my arms or holding a telephone does it to my hands.

When the numbness started I saw a neurologist and was given a healthy result, brain MRI ruled out MS. Blood tests were all normal as well.

I'm male, 28 have had not other problems with health, besides some fairly heavy dental work (root canal and several cavities). This is also giving me a bit of anxiety, though the symptoms came first and I was never a nervous person before. The shaking that has recently started feels exactly like when I used to when doing something quite scary like and adrenaline rush would cause, but with out a reason.

I accidently posted before finishing re-reading the post, the back pain was about 6-12 inches above my hips, and only lasted for 10-20 seconds, though i didn't move for probably a minute because i was afraid i'd hurt something, since it happened as i was sitting down.

The right toes have always been the leading indicators, and seem to be falling asleep permanently, with identical symptoms following in my left hand and then left foot and (still only slightly) right hand.

It is all also worst late at night or when i'm more tired / sleeping less then 7 hours a night.

I am experiencing numbness and shaking in my right leg for 30 second to a minute then it is okay then it starts again. I had an on the job injury in 2005 which was diagnoised as a tear at L4-5 and two buldging and the insurance company settled the case. Now, almost two years after the insurance settled I am having problems. This problem is unlike the injury suffered on the job. I have continued to see a Workers Comppensation doctor just to be sure and after a follow up MRI he said there is nothing we can do but live with it.

Any suggestions? Chiropactor or perhaps neurologist?

I continue to work as an aircraft mechanic on a government contract and the weakness concerns me when I climb up on aircraft to help the pilots strap in. If my leg goes out when I am ten to twelve feet off of the ground I can foresee a serious problem.

Thank you for your tie and consideration.
