Brief Answer:
nothing to worry about

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

How was your day?

Hope this message finds you in good health.

I have gone through your query in detail and understand your concern.

well, c6 level disc can cause c7-8 nerve to compress due to the c8 nerve being traversing root at that level.

wasting can also be due to nerve problems anywhere other than spine,like at elbow,below medial epicondyle or at wrist- ulnar tunnel syndrome

You should eventually get back to normal in coming few days.Nothing to worry about.     

I hope your question has been answered.

Feel free to consult me anytime for follow-up queries.
Take care,God bless.

Wish you a healthy life : )

If you do not have any clarifications,you can close the discussion.
