Muscle atrophy, weakness/paralysis,  anaesthesia/paraesthesia and pins and needles are the side effects if left untreated. Treatment is first conservative, then with surgical decompression reserved for special cases.
Next Steps
Causes are many but edema associated with thyroid issues, diabetes and pregnancy being commonly seen.
