Hello,

It may be due to peripheral neuropathy. For further assessment you may require MRI neck, nerve conduction studies, vitamin b 12 levels after spine surgeon consultation. Further treatment mainly depends upon the underlying condition. You may require tablet pregabalin and multivitamin after consultation. Continue physical therapy

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

Regards,
Dr. Shyam B. Kale, General & Family Physician
