Cervical spine injury that gets worse in hot weather

Hello everyone,

I live in the middle east, where the weather is pretty hot. Since 2019, my hands (from shoulder to wrist) get tired within minutes when working on the computer during the months of May through September (the hotter months). An unberable condition that prevents me to work properly.

During the rest of the year, and especially during the colder months, the situation is hardly noticeable and I can work almost normally.

My posture wasn't ideal for many years up until this injury. When the injury began to bother me in 2019, I did two tests which showed the following:

Cervical MRI:

Minimal disc bulge C4-C5.

No other bulges/issues.

EMG test:

A problem with the nerve conduction from the C6-C7 vertebrae.

Does anyone have an assessment of why the situation gets worse during hot weather?

I tried to google the issue but it seems that the issue isn't common at all.

Note that I feel no pain in the neck.

Thank you.
