Hello,

I have studied your case.


EMG-NCV [NERVE CONDUCTION STUDY] will help in diagnosis.


Clinical examination and muscle relaxant will help in early recovery.
Physiotherapy like ultrasound and TENS will help.

For medication you may need physical consultation.

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.
