Hello,
Thanks for your query.
Due to compression of nerve root theer is burning sensation in your arm and pain associated with it. It could be due to carpal tunnel syndrome.
I will advise you to MRI cervical spine and NCV for better diagnosis.
For these symptoms analgesic and neurotropic like pregabalin and methylcobalamin medication can be started consulting your doctor.
Till time, avoid lifting weights, Sit with support to back. You can consult physiotherapist for help.
Physiotherapy like ultrasound and interferential therapy will give quick relief.
I will advise to check your vit B12 and vit D3 level
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
