IS it on one side only or both! IF BOTH and the progression has taken less than a month to 'sort of "move up" your body'? Call your doc and complain constructively that it's moving UP and FAST!
Tests should be done asap for autoimmune possibilities and believe me? I DO KNOW that pain all too well. And it does scare you silly and beyond!
I HAD a neruo [note the 'had'?] who kept upping the neurontin/gabapentin to the point where I was sleepling 18 hours a day in 2 hour stints and had hallucinations to boot. When I talked to that 'had' neuro? What'd he do? UPped the dosage again! I didn't. Don't know about you? I did NOT like being a zombie! Ergo. Went and got first and second opinions... the two in concert worked out and got ME an autoimmune neuropathy diagnosis and treatments. I believe I can walk independetly because of those later 'opinions!
I truly hope you live in a city or region where you CAN get other opinions tho! Otherwise it can get tricky. Many here have suffered from that aspect.
I wish you luck and hope in finding a new neruo. A good site to check is:

Keep faith in yourself that something IS wrong? And you're not gonna be brushed off w/meds. There has to be some LIFE besides meds and/or pain!
Hope and good things too! 's!!!!!!!! - j
