Hello,
There is disc bulging and nerve compression over the nerves supplying the hand and it will be the cause of your symptoms.
Consult an orthopedician and get evaluated.
Generally, conservative management will be effective. In severe cases, steroid injection to the spine is required.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
