Experiencing sensory loss in my index and middle finger with a current-like sensation on the radial side. MRI shows cervical compression at C3-C4-C5. As an athlete, will I need surgery or can rest help? Will I be able to get back to my exercises again?

Given the sensory loss in your index and middle finger with a current-like sensation on the radial side, coupled with cervical compression at C3-C4-C5 as shown by the MRI, it's highly likely you're experiencing cervical radiculopathy and possibly radial nerve entrapment. Rest and conservative treatment may be beneficial, but surgery may be necessary if symptoms don't improve or worsen. Whether you can return to your exercises depends on the severity and response to treatment
