Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

I have noted your symptoms.

They are most probably related to the nerve compression in the cervical (neck region). This results in pain and tingling in the areas mentioned by you.

No requirement of surgery is a good news.

You would feel better with medications such as pregabalin or gabapentin capsules.

In addition, physiotherapy would also help.

I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.

Wishing you good health,
