NOW!: This suggests a compression neuritis or disc issues. I suggest an immediate examination and a neurology consultation-ASAP!

History: Did you have a traumatic event to cause this? What prompts you to ask currently? If this is new, you should be seen very promptly to be evaluated.

See doc soon : Since these symptoms have not resolved and are worsening, a good exam should determine which diagnosis is correct and which treatment is needed to fix this problem .
