Hello I have studied your case.
There is possibility of nerve compression leading to arm and leg pain.
I will advise you MRI spine.
Due to this there can be persistent pain and discomfort.
medication like methylcobalamine and neurotropic medication like pregabalin can be started consulting your doctor.
Physiotherapy like ultrasound and Tens may give you instant relief.
consult doctor for proper treatment.
