Hello,

Your symptoms could be related to a pinched muscle or a metabolic disorder. For this reason, I would recommend consulting with your attending physician and performing some tests:
- Vitamin D and vitamin B12 plasma levels
- Blood electrolytes
- Complete blood count, PCR, ESR for inflammation. Nerve conduction studies would help examine your nerves. You should discuss with your doctor on the above tests.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
