Hello, I have studied your case. Due to compression of this nerve root there is tingling numbness and weakness in your arm and fingers pain associated with it. I will advise you to MRI cervical spine for better diagnosis. For these symptoms analgesic and neurotrophic medication can be started. Till time, avoid lifting weights, Sit with support to back. You can consult physiotherapist for help. Physiotherapy like ultrasound and inferential therapy will give quick relief. I will advise checking your it B12 and it 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.
