General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,

Your symptoms seem to be related to a pinched nerve.

I suggest using an anti-inflammatory medicine such as Ibuprofen.

I also suggest physical therapy daily.

I recommend maintaining the area immobilized to avoid further damage to the nerve.

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

Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
