Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

I have studied your case.
Due to compression of spinal nerve root there is pins and needle sensation in your elbow and wrist, pain associated with it.
I will advise you to MRI spine for better diagnosis.

For these symptoms analgesic and neurotropic medication like pregabalin can be started consulting your doctor.
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.
I will advise to check your vit B12 and vit D3 level.

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
