It is a symptom suggestive of some nerve compression therefore needs to be evaluated soon before irreparable damage occurs. It could also be purely a musculoskeletal issue however lasting for almost six months is worrysome. Kindly visit your physician or better still, an orthopedician who may advice an MRI scan and clinch the diagnosis.
