Numbness in the legs and pain in the shoulder. Does anyone have any idea what this could be?

Hello, My leg has now been numb for over a week, It started off as painful pins and needles. I went to my doctor who wanted me to have blood tests and a possible MRI scan. Over the past few days, I have also begun to have pains in my arm, and lower back, and occasionally headaches. Does anyone have any idea what this could be?

@rius Hello, Blood tests and MRI seem sound from considering the following 2 main possible diagnoses:
diabetes, or lumbar disc disease (leg numbness). Since the symptoms have started in the upper limb, the blood tests are further indicated. But lumbar disc problems may be further suspected if the pain or symptoms worsen with activity or static postures. Thanks!
