output: hello I have seen your mri reports but as no films were included I will go by your description and mri report you have a c5 ca level issue with indentation of the exiting nerve root on the left side which matches weakly with your symptoms at present there is no need to panic take a course is antiinflammatory tablets like voveran 75 my twice daily after meals and antacids before meals secondly take pregabalin tablets 75 my twice a day for three to four weeks this may make you feel a bit sleepy but it will go away avoid working on the computer for too long or on the phone do simple mechanical strengthening exercises and shoulder weak elevation exercises give yourself a couple of weeks minimum and come back if this does not improve
