Hello
Thanks for your query.
The symptoms described by you are also related to neural damage ( compression related ).
Apart from the two nerves mentioned, the minor branches which serve the other areas also could be compressed.
Another reason could be vitamin deficiency leading to neural damage.
Have an assessment by a neurologist.
