[|AI|]  Hello, I have studied your case. Due to compression of nerve root there can be pain and burning sensation along elbow and palm. I will advise you to MRI cervical spine for better diagnosis. For these symptoms analgesic and neurotrophic medication can be started. Till time, avoid lifting weights, Sit with support to back. You can consult physiotherapist for help. Physiotherapy like ultrasound and inferential therapy will give quick relief. Hope this answers your query.
