Hello,
Your symptoms could be related to a pinched nerve or local joint inflammation. For this reason, I recommend consulting with your attending physician for a physical exam, a joint X-ray study and inflammation tests (complete blood count, PCR, ESR). Performing nerve conduction studies may be needed.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
