Hello thanks for asking from HCM for your health related queries

I can understand your concern. Your main issues are chronic backache, numbness in legs and severe anxiety. The shaking of body is due to anxiety only. The backache along with numbness, tingling in legs usually occurs in some compression neuropathy. Slipped disc, Sciatica are possible reason. Please visit an orthopaedic doctors for proper relief of these symptoms. You also have persistent shakiness and such symptoms are due to anxiety. Visit a psychiatrist for help.

For severe trembling like symptoms medicines like beta blockers as Propranolol or Atenolol can help. These medicines help to reduce the symptoms of anxiety and will control the tremors. If even with these medicines symptoms persist then medicines like SSRIs or SNRIs can help. Visit a psychiatrist for prescription of these medicines.

Thanks, Hope this helps you.

Take care
