Multiple pinched Nerves - Is this possible?

Can a pinched nerve cause transient numbness in primarily the left foot, but also in both hands and the right foot as well? Also would it cause burning in the legs, arms hands and feet and other sensations also around the entire body including the face? Could it also cause a tremor in both hands and right leg weakness and difficulty with walking? I guess I am wondering whether a person could have mulitple pinched nerves that would cause all these symptoms at once? My symptoms started just over 10 months ago in my left foot and within a few days I had a bombarement of sensory symptoms throughout my body. Since then the symptoms have come and gone but the numbness has progressed and my walking has been increasingly difficult to the point where sometimes I can barely walk my legs feel so weak and heavy and my gait can be crooked. Other times i walk irtually fine. Can pinched nerves do all this or is there most likely something else going on?
Thank you!

Just saw your discussion about the burning and numbness in multiple parts of the body. I am having the same symptons in one arm and one leg- burning and numbness. It is beginning to move to the other arrm. The neurologist wantst to a nerve conduction test. I am not sure what this will prove. Wondering how you are doing/

Hi there,
Thanks for getting back to me. I figured it was most likely due to something more systemic but started wondering whether it was possible that I could have more than one nerve pinched at the same time that could be causing all the problems. My b12 was checked and it was fine, I do not have lyme disease, nor am I diabetic. I had a brain MRI and that did not show anything and now I am scheduled for a spinal MRI.  
Thanks again for your input.
Cheers!

Sounds like peripheral neuropathy which is damage to nerves of the peripheral nervous system, which may be caused either by diseases of/or trauma to the nerve or the side-effects of systemic illness. There are many conditions that cause this from Lyme's Disease to MS to vitamin B12 deficiency. See a more indepth list of causes on wikipedia.
