Hello,

I have studied your case.
Due to compression of this nerve root there can be tingling numbness in your arm and pain.
This can be transient for some time and you may recover early.
I will advise you to MRI cervical spine if symptoms persist.

You can take trinerve consulting your doctor then it will be more helpful.
Till time, avoid lifting weights, Sit with support to back. You can consult physiotherapist for help.
Physiotherapy like ultrasound and interferential therapy will give quick relief.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care.
