1943759 tn?1324045251 Has he had an MRI to determine if it really is a pinched nerve? Usually, decompressed disks will cause a pinched nerve or a pinched peripheral nerve like the facet joints when they get depressed have periperphal nerves coming off of them. The ice will help with inflammation. YOu can also try NSAID's and get a muscle relaxant like Flexeril. If it only lasts for a few days you can have him take Tramadol or Vicadin (but only for a few days).

Avatar n tn it might be you sciatica nerve (sp?) it might be pinched and it can be super painful! try a hotish bath or a shower with the water on a massage pulse. other then that talk with your dr.
Avatar m tn The pain that you are experiencing can be due to non-union of fracture ends, mal-union of fracture ends, pinched nerve, ligament tear, tendonitis or due to poor position of foot due to peroneal nerve injury. Non and mal union would be evident on X-rays. To diagnose nerve injury and pinched nerve, you will need nerve conduction studies. Ligament tears would be evident only on MRI. Please discuss this with an orthopedic specialist. Take care!
Avatar n tn Personal trainers know nothing about a pinched nerve. Most of them know nothing about exercise. I think you're thinking of physical therapists, but they can only help if they know what's causing the nerve to be pinched and it's something they can deal with. Surgery isn't usually necessary just for a pinched nerve, unless the cause of the nerve being pinched is something that can only be relieved surgically.
Avatar n tn Wow...there is someone like me. My throat pain has been with me for almost 1 year now. Mine is on the left side. I've been told I have a rare case of Laryngeal Neuralgia but all the medicines they have given me have been unimpressive. I'm taking meds that help with nerve pain. I even had a nerve block that did nothing. I'm going to try another in a few weeks and hoping for relief. Lifting, movement, etc.
Avatar m tn I was wondering if anyone had any advice regarding the pinched nerve in my back. I've been suffering with it for over a month. It started one morning with a severe cramp in both of my calf muscles. The right calf continued to ache for about four days. It eventually turned into numbness and tingling below my knee in my right leg. Now I don't hardly have any strength at all in that area. The physical therapist has given me some exercises but I'm still struggling with overwhelming pain.
Avatar f tn Hello, if it is nerve entrapment, then seeing a chiropractor would be worthwhile. MRI and CT scans would be the best to determine exactly what is going on, some chiropractors can order them, but if they can't, then she would need to see a GP.
Avatar m tn I have a pinched nerve in my elbow and one in my hand, would this cause pain in my upper back and side?
Avatar n tn Do I likely have a pinched nerve? I had, for about 2 weeks, tight neck/shoulder muscles. Since I had this a couple years ago I saw my Doctor and was prescribed muscle relaxers again. I knew my left arm was weaker feeling but attributed it to the muscles being tight for so long. I then realized that my left triceps was not working at all(before taking muscle relaxers). I also have some pain in my left shoulder and elbow.
Avatar f tn Is 11&4 too early to have a pinched sciatic nerve? Its been on and off for about a week now, and its mostly tolerable. But sometimes I feel like I can barely pick my left leg up.
Avatar f tn You are have the signs of a nerve being pinched. You need a mri or ct scan to see what exactly is wrong. Leaving the unchecked can result in permanent damage to the nerves and spine. Get an appointment asap and take it easy until you find out how serious it is. There is a chart on my profile showing the nerves and what they control this may be useful to you. Best of luck.
Avatar n tn The vet said she thought it was neurological as well and thought it was a pinched nerve or herniated disc but because of her age and all that there is no surgical solution because she can't go under anesthia anymore. I just hate to loose her or see her in pain because she has been my baby and I hate to see her suffer or to leave us.

2932946 tn?1344722012 My lower back has been hurting so bad the last two days, i can't stand or sit up for over just a few minutes and laying down is a little better but still really uncomfortable. I have this weird pain/tingly feeling down my left leg constantly.
