Hi
Thanks for writing your query
After going through your description, it is pinched nerve. You may have pregablin drug along with painkiller like ibuprofen after discussion with your doctor. Be watchful for any weakness of grip or weakness in lower limbs, if have contact to the emergency/local doctor.
