Hello!
My name is Dr. Aida and I am glad to attend you on Healthcaremagic!
Her symptoms could be related to a pinched nerve in the cervical column or a bulging disc in this level.
For this reason, I would recommend performing a cervical spine MRI and a nerve conduction study.
It is less likely to be MS, as her symptoms are very localized.
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Best wishes!
