From what you have written, you are having Peripheral Neuropathy.

It could be due to a large number of causes

Have you ruled out Diabetes Mellitus ?
Does your work bring you into contact with lead (eg paint industry) ?

I would like you to first rule out Vitamin Deficiency and some simple investigations before thinking of MS and MRI
