Physical Therapist or Physiotherapist,  's  Response
hi,

thank you for providing the brief history of you.

as mentioned by you the history a thorough neuromuscular assessment is needed.

As you mentioned your symptoms post and assessment an MRI is guided . As it appears to be a pinched nerve in the cervical spine. For which I can recommend you a physical therapy. The therapist will help you with therapeutic ultrasound therapy and TENS therapy. Also with exercises on later stages you will recover well.

in my clinical practice i see cases with similar problems. and 99% respond well to physical therapy.

regards
