Default I need help figuring out my DX

I think i'm in the right place... and it looks like there is an abudance of information and support here for newbies like myself. I'm struggling to understand what is going on with me bouncing around from dr to dr and hope the people on this forum could give me some insight.

My Details:
31, Male, athletic and in decient shape. Suffering for 2 months now.

Onset of symptoms:
Started after 5 days of extreme workouts and competitive volleyball.

Symptoms (first week)
-Tingling right hand
-Heart Palpitations at night
-Anxiety
-Muscle Twitching

After a week of rest symptoms subsided and I attempted to play volleyball.
Following Symptoms:
-Electrical shocking sensation in right foot/calf (much worse when sitting)
-Right leg numb and tingling when sitting
-Tingling Right hand

Tests Performed:
EMG / NC (clear)
Neck MRI (Clear)
Lumbar MRI (Clear)
Basic Blood Test (Clear)

After 1 month of rest I had 3 days symptom free around the holidays. After 4 hour drive, loading/unloading wedding shower boxes symptoms returned.

Its now a month since then and i have been doing some low impact swimming, stretching and walking.

My current symptoms are:
- Pins and Needles, Burning in both feet (worse when sitting, best when walking)
- Electrical sensation in right foot has only happened a couple times in last two weeks.
- Hand feels fine, but shows signs of Carpal Tunnel
- Occasional very painful right upper leg (hot tub seems to bring this on several hours after use)
- Muscle twitching comes and goes

Neurologist #1 seemed to think i was crazy
Neurologist #2 seems to think it nerve damage that will heal. Prescribed Gabby.
Sports Ortho Dr was thinking some nerve entrapment/irritation like Tarsal Tunnel but why would I have pain in both feet and my upper right leg. Also I feel fine when walking worse when sitting. Unfortunately I sit all day at work.

If anyone has any advice pleasae let me know. I'm getting married in several months to a wonderful woman and this is making it hard to concentrate on much of anything.
