Hello,
Thanks for the query,
You need a detailed neurological evaluation to clarify the diagnosis and treat you better.
The problem either could be in the spinal cord near the neck or in the peripheral nerves in the hand and legs. This can be resolved by MRI scan of the spine and nerve conduction study. I advise you to meet a local neurologist who will guide you through clinical evaluation and these tests.
Hope this helps
Best wishes
