Hello,
It may be due to nerve compression at cervical level.
For further assessment you may require MRI neck, nerve conduction studies after spine surgeon consultation.
Continue physical therapy.
You may require tablet pregabalin and multivitamin after consultation.
For pain you can take tablet acetaminophen.
Hope I have answered your query...
Let me know if I can assist you further.
