Neck pain pinched nerve symptoms
Common Questions and Answers about Neck pain pinched nerve symptoms
pain
Has the diagnosis of a pinched nerve been confirmed? Is the nerve that is pinched located in your cervical spine and thus producing symptoms of arm pain?
It is important to know the location of the nerve as if affects the type of treatment that is recommended. If you are under the care of a doctor, have appropriate diagnostic tests been completed such as x-rays or MRI?
Absent additional information, it would not be possible to determine your best treatment plan at this time.
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.
Just this week, the pain in my left shoulder has started to improve while the shooting pain down my arm on the right side has started to occur. Could this be a pinched nerve in my neck? What should my next step be?

It seems from the EMG that I have pinched nerves in both neck and lower back. So I wonder whats the relation here.
Do I have neuropathy because I have radiculopathy? I have a very long list of symptoms, some of them more annoying than others.
I have numbness mostly on my right hand, tingling, tenderness in buttocks (sometimes on the right sometimes on the left side) pain than run from my back to my hamstrings and ankles.
He cracked my neck, and I have had excruciating pain going from the left sied of my neck down to just under my shoulder blade. I even had accupuncture several times, but that gets a little too expensive. This pain is absolutely killing me, it hurts so bad and feels like there is a pick or shard or knife wedged in my shoulder blade. I s there ANYTHING I can do to at least lessen the pain? Please help!
Two days ago I woke up with a terrible pain in my neck and arm (just above elbows). The night before I was laying in a poor posture on the couch.
Over the past two the days this pain is no longer and terrible as it is.
I only feel the pain in my upper arm area when I bend my neck down.
I at first thought it was a muscle issue, but my muscles have no pain.
I did some reading and realized that I may have potentially pinched a nerve.
I went to a Nero. He looked at my MRI and noticed a pinched nerve in the neck. He also thinks I have carpal tunnel and scheduled a test. But he said the MRI didn't show any lesions so MS is unlikely. The wrist pain is from carpal tunnel. The stinging skin could be an allergy or eczema and the numbness is also part of carpal tunnel.
Does anyone have any burning stinging feeling in their skin that disappears after shower?
pinched nerve possibly muscles spasms also possible I have degenerative disks in my neck which cause a neck rt shoulder cervical syndrome with the same symptoms but that doesn't mean that's what you have.. you should get an xray and see your doc, you didn't mention if there has been an injury or strain or overuse ?
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.
It could absolutly make your back hurt if you have a nerve in your neck pinched. I had a pinched nerve in my neck and shoulder blade and I only felt the pain in my hand and wrist! Try finding a chiropracter to help you. I have had multiple pinched nerves over the years and they always seem to help me....
If your arm pain shoots down from your neck, one possible cause to your symptoms is a radiculopathy, or pinched nerve. The spinal cord is encased by bones called vertebra. Nerves start to form as they come off the spinal cord and exit through holes formed between the vertebra. If a nerve is compressed on as it exits through these holes, particularly in an area called the nerve a radiculopathy results.
There is a possibility that your symptoms are due to nerve compression in the cervical region or at the level of shoulder or elbow joint. Pinched nerve can cause pain in the muscles and numbness.
Since you suffer from MS, this possibility cannot be ruled out as a cause of your current symptoms. MS is known to cause muscle aches and pains and paresthesias like tingling numbness, throbbing and stabbing pain.
Please discuss both these possibilities with your treating doctor.
She also said that I probably have a pinched nerve on my left side of my neck causing most of the discomfort. She gave me a muscle relaxer and some pain medication.
Both doctors told me my pulse was completely normal and that my blood pressure was perfect. They actually smiled when I mentioned heart attack and told me not to worry, but I can't seem to stop stressing and worrying.
s post may be right on, regarding a pinched nerve. I Have permanent damage to the C-7 nerve root from an injury, and your symptoms are very similar to the radiculopathy I suffer from. The nerve feeds through the vertebrae and down into arms and corresponding side of chest.
Although I have this pain 24/7, it is often worse and hypersensitive after awakening. I have to be very careful as to the pillows I use, and the way I support my neck as I sleep.
Hello~Yes, a pinched nerve in your lower neck can cause chest pain. The burning is usually a sign of a pinched nerve. I would see a chiropractor, he/she will take some x-rays of your neck,look them over and then discuss the results with you. After a few treatments, these feelings you are having should be better.
MRI is essential to know the location of the pinched nerve, any disk problems or other associated causes of the nerve symptoms. Persistent nerve compression does lead to paralysis. Nerve decompression by surgery and physiotherapy is essential to avoid complications. Please consult a neurologist as soon as possible. Hope this helps you. Take care and regards!
