Hi,

Due to the compression of this nerve root, there is pain associated with facet arthropathy. I will advise you to MRI cervical spine for better diagnosis.

For these symptoms analgesic and neurotropic medication can be started. Till the time, avoid lifting weights, sit with support to the back. You can consult a physiotherapist for help. Physiotherapy, ultrasound and interferential therapy will give quick relief.

I will advise checking your vitamin B12 and vitamin D3 level.

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

Regards,
Dr. Ivan R. Rommstein, General Surgeon
