Need Treatment For Numbness On The Arm

Hi, about ten weeks ago I was in a weight lifting class doing bicep curls and I think I must have overworked my arm. Out of no where my arm becomes completely numb. I think I might have pinched my musculocutaneous nerve. I have the inability to flex my bicep, and painless severe weakness of muscle strength in my arm. There also was numbness in my thumb, index, and middle finger and forearm. The numbness is now gone. I m in physical therapy but nothing is working. Also I have taken anti inflammatory pills but that didn t help either. I have no idea what to do. Please help me! Can you just email me I don t have the money to pay for your answer so please if your kind enough can you email me at YYYY@YYYY

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern looking to given history here I could say that the numbness that are having could be due to the compression in cervical spine and you need to confirm this and for that you need to get done the x-ray of cervical spine this would clear the doubt meanwhile you need to maintain the good posture, have a nice day.
I find this answer helpful
