Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
Your symptoms seem to be related to a pinched nerve.
I suggest using anti inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the symptoms.
If it doesn't work, you can use prescription painkillers such as Pregabalin.
I also recommend to avoid movements that can trigger the symptoms.
You should consult a neurosurgeon in case that the surgery is needed.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
