Hello,

I have studied your case. You may be having these sensations because of some traction on the median nerve. Do not worry. it is not a serious issue. Till that time you can take symptomatic treatment in form of tablet Pregabalin M at night time. Also continue physiotherapy.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Naveen Kumar Sharma
