What would cause multiple tunnel syndromes at the same time?

I have cubital tunnel syndrome in my left arm, been there for about 10 years.

In the past month or so I've picked up symptoms of cubital tunnel in my other arm, radial tunnel in both arms (top of forearms burning), carpal tunnel in both hands (tingling numbness in thumb and first two fingers), and even the tingling and burning of tarsal tunnel syndrome (burning soles and ball of foot, tingling in ball and toes, etc).

And today I woke up with a stiff uncoordinated left leg, with some buttock pain shooting down my leg.  It's very mild, but I'm thinking sciatica or piriformis syndrome.

It's like all the nerves in my body are getting inflamed and impinged.  All in the span of a few weeks.

It doesn't sound normal, but I can't think of what would cause this.

The same thing happened to me too.  All started with left leg sciatica, then progressed to other foot and arms just like you.  Nobody can tell me what is wrong, all tests are normal.

Thanks for telling me that.  I was wondering if I was the only one.  It's weird.  I have a neuro appointment in about 3 weeks.  I'll come back and report on what they say.
It now has spread to my head and face.  I had EMG and NCS on foot and legs and arms and all normal.  Though it's only been 6 months that it's been like this.  I am seeing a new neuro now to see what they have to say.
