Brief Answer:
Possible Nerve Compression.?Need NCS.

Detailed Answer:
Hi Sir.

I Understand your concern.

These symptoms can point to localised transient nerve compression.

I advise you to get evaluated for Nerve conduction study/NCS.

This can point clues to the cause of your problem.

Meanwhile drugs like Pregabalin under medical supervision can help to improve your symptoms.

Post your further queries if any.
Thank you.
