Hello dear,
The symptoms can be attributed to musculo-skeletal injury or nerve entrapment.
Symptomatic relief can be obtained by heat therapy, application of analgesic & muscle relaxant gel, intake of analgesics like Diclofenac + Serratiopeptidase along with Pantoprazole preparations and nervigenic agents like Vit B12, Vit B6.
Take care.
