You should see a doctor, preferably a neurologist if possible, for this problem. You have symptoms of a nerve entrapment syndrome.

Not unique that nerve inflammation or entrapment can occur associated with occupational physical exertion. Carpal tunnel syndrome for example, is not uncommon. As Dr Le recommends, a physical examination can arrive at a diagnosis and a treatment approach.
