[|AI|]  Hello! Welcome and thank you for asking on Chat Doctor! I agree with your doctor that an MRI would help examine better the nerve compression. A nerve conduction study may also be helpful. Meanwhile, I would recommend starting therapy with Gabapentin or pregabalin for the pain. These two antiepileptic Chat Doctor.  They are usually well tolerated in every age. Physiotherapy may also be helpful. You should discuss with your doctor on the above issues. Best wishes,
