Hi there. You could be suffering from a disc issue at the back or neck. Since you have both upper and lower limb symptoms, you need to be investigated for cervical myelopathy which means either degenerative disc disease, prolapse, bony spur causing nerve root compression or in progressive disease, may cause central canal stenosis which could be causing compression of nerve roots supplying both the limbs. Consult a neurologist for investigation of your spine and an MRI spine is warranted to check the lesions.  This would require painkillers or NSAIDS, physical therapy, exercise, epidural steroid injection and lastly a decompressive surgery of spine. Hope this helps. Take care.
