Hello,
Your symptoms seem to be related to a pinched nerve.
I suggest using an anti-inflammatory medicine such as Ibuprofen.
I also suggest physical therapy daily.
I recommend maintaining the area immobilized to avoid further damage to the nerve.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
