Orthopaedic Surgeon 's  Response
Hi i am Dr Ahmed Aly
thanks for using HealthcareMagic site ,
I had gone through your question and understand your concerns ..

You may have a kind of nerve compression , you may use painkillers like ( NSAIDs ) tylenol tabs when needed , hot gentle massaging with topical anti-inflammatory gels , muscle relaxants , B12 vitamin supplements will be effective in most of cases . in more severe or chronic cases steroid tabs or injections are prescribed if required .
If these symptoms persists or does not respond to medications i recommend MRI scan on spine to exclude any spinal injury or discs or herniation and follow them up with your neurologist for proper evaluation and management .
