Hi
Thank you for asking HCM
I have gone through your query.Your problem is most likely due to nerve compression which can be caused by osteochondrosis or a intervertebral disc herniation.A physical examination with an orthopedician will give clue for that and X ray followed by an MRI will be needed to confirm that.In such condition i treat my patients with NSAIDs like aceclofenac muscle relaxants like thiocolchicoside and neurotropic drugs.I also send them for physiotherapy and muscle strengthening exercises.If no improvement from this or the nerve compression is more then i recommend surgical correction.Hope this may help you.
Let me know if you have any further query.
