Hello The symptoms which are showing points to wards nerve compression between the vertebra(back bone). This is known as spondylitis however you need to be examined by a orthopedic doctor to come to conclusion. These symptoms may also be due to peripheral neuropathy for which neurologist would be required CT scan or MRI may be useful for reaching to diagnosis First you can see a orthopedic and if he recommends then neurologist can be consulted. There is no panic situation however consultation is must Hope this information helps you
