i think it can be either a carpel tunnel syndrome or a cervical spondylitis. I would recommend you to get EMG/NCV of her hand to find out if there is any pinch nerve is there. I would also recommend you to show to a orthopaedic surgeon rather then a neurophyscian. Till that time you should give her pregabalin and methylcobal tablet for pain relief and nerve strengthening.
