In the case of the patient, first, it is necessary to consider cervical spine lesions that may cause the aforementioned discomfort. Second, it is necessary to consider local peripheral nerve lesions that may cause the aforementioned discomfort. Third, it is also necessary to consider rare diseases, such as motor neuron disease, that may cause the aforementioned discomfort. However, which specific disease it is, it is recommended to visit a neurology doctor at the hospital for further examination. Head and neck MRI, electromyography, and other relevant tests should be performed to further identify the cause.
