hi,
thank-you for providing the brief history.
As per the history this looks more of either of the conditon like RA or a nerve root entrapment for which we need a thorough clinical examination and some diagnostic tests to confirm the diagnosis.
As this is just the beginning we will be able to assess it at the earliest and guide the proper treatment.
Usually with RA or Nerve entrapment with a combination of drug therapy and physical therapy most patient recover well in my clinical practice and so do I expect same from you.
