What Causes Pain And Stiffness Of Legs?

I have a numb left foot from about the ball of my foot to the end of my toes my right also has some numbness. I also have tingling and a sensation of heat on the tops of my feet more on the left and general painful aching. My legs have a feeling of being tired and aching pain and stiffness. I also have a numbness sensation in my legs I mean they don t feel numb exactly but if I scratch them for example I a numbness feeling , I don t feel the scratching to much. I have same aching in my arms not as much unless I do so lifting . I get numbness in my hands and fingers that comes and goes also sometimes I do something and I get a shock in my hands like I touched a electric fence. I have had a EMG done and Results I was told are normal same thing for aNCV I have had high CPK numbers only a couple hundred points high not taking any statins also had a high myoglobin number I think 100-200 points high. I am 44 yrs. male I had 2 level back fusion (s-1 l-4, l-5) about 5-6 yrs. ago no back problems since. Iam wondering if MS is something to look at and what tests might be done or what other possibilities I should think about. Thanks.

hi
with history of spine disease, its possible to have some naturopathic/muscular pains...if you aren't diabetic, then leg pains may be attributed to back.A check up by orthopedics doctor for cervical (neck) spine may be necessary to rule out CS accounting for hand symptoms...MS is not so common cause but a neurologist may decide for it by Ct/Mri head and spine if needed.A combination of gabapentin, methycobalamin, vitamin B1 B2 B6 B12 may also help if your doctor agrees...physical therapy in addition
best wishes.
