Hello,
It would explain that your symptoms could be related to local inflammation. A pinched nerve can not be excluded either. For this reason, I would recommend performing nerve conduction studies and inflammation tests (PCR, ESR, complete blood count).
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
