Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic
Physical examination and investigations are a must for proper advice.
Electromyography and Nerve Conduction studies are usual in such situations
You have not stated your age, gender, personal habits, family history or co-morbidities
Involvement of opposite side could from the same problem or peripheral neuropathy...
See a Neurologist...
Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
