What can be done to heal a pinched nerve in a neck? I went to my doctor after about a week of pain in my neck. He diagnosed me with a pinched nerve, and prescribed me Vicodin, Flexeril, and Prednozone.

If in the end these don't help, what more can a doctor do for me?

Any home treatments I can try for a very severe pinched nerve in my neck? I am a 22 year old male and I have been suffering with very severe and chronic neck and shoulder pain for a year and 9 months now. I have gone to two doctors, had two CT scans and an MRI (they found nothing but a pinched nerve-no disk herniations or anything)...I do ice and heat therapy every night, have done every stretch imaginable, been to chiropractors, etc...I am in so much pain it is unbearable at this point-the back of my head and my neck and shoulder are so swollen it's ridiculous and I have weakness in my right arm now. The pain gets worse with every month...it did go away for almost a month about a year ago but has been back full force for the past year...I am at my wits end with this because nothing seems to help. Any suggestions from anyone? Anything will help me at this point...plus I know it is driving my fiancee crazy that I can't move most of the time at night

At the very least, even if I'm wrong about my diagnosis, you will be helping her! Thank you. PS I haven't worked for this chirpractor in years and have moved far away, or I'd just ask him... LOL
How long will it take for my pulled back/neck muscle/pinched nerve to heal? It has been three weeks!? I woke up with a pulled muscle in my upper right back area. It got worse after a few days and spread to my neck. I started having muscle spasms and had to go the doctor. Some medication has been helpful but it has now been three weeks and it is still really bothering me. I would feel better if I knew it would get better soon. My doctor said 4-6 weeks and I thought she was exaggerating. I have been putting heat on it and taking Advil.

Pinched nerve? Neck & shoulder pain nauseous? I have something like a pinched nerve, tendentious & pain going from the bottom of neck in the center down to my right shoulder and sometimes all the way down my wrist to my fingers. Now I have tendentious in my right arm and at times it flares up to my shoulder & up towards my neck. But the past few days the pain has moved more to the back of my neck or the bottom part of my neck right in the center. Plus last night I was hit with some nausea & kind of dizzy. Now, I am also fighting a sinus problem too so I know you can get dizzy when the middle ear is involved so it could be that. But also is it possible part of the pain & the pinched nerve tendon thing is causing it too? I'm putting off seeing a doctor hoping this time it will clear itself up again but last time it happened I was put on very strong steroids & pain pills. Knocked me out for over a week! My daughter has a birthday party Sunday that I can't miss. (sigh) Any ideas of what it is? Could the pain be making me nauseous? The pain isn't all the time more nagging. Also the pain in my right arm isn't carpel tunnel or due to computer. I'm left handed and use the mouse with my left hand.

How do you fix a pinched nerve in your neck from sleeping wrong?

Whats the best way to treat a pinched nerve in my neck? When I was younger I lifted a heavy item wrong and I felt something 'pop' in my neck. Even since I would get excruciating pain along the left side of neck and the pain would radiate down my left arm. It hurts so much that I can't turn my head to left or right. The pain will last for about 2 -3 days and then I'll be completely OK. It usually comes back when I sleep crooked or every 6 months. The only thing I do to make it better is rest and take lots of pain killers (i.e., Tylenol and ibuprofen) I'd appreciate any help to alleviate this pain.

Any experience/ advice for a possbile pinched nerve in neck? About three weeks ago, I experienced major neck pain (not able to move my neck, stabbing sensation) differing from a possible strained muscle. It took over a week to feel better. Now, a few days ago, the pain has resurfaced. The research I've done basically shows I need to get an MRI and I would really like to avoid that. Advice anyone? Probably the most important thing, I should have added... I currently am uninsured.

pinched nerve in neck=sharp head pains? ive been having sharp pains in my head for about 8 weeks now. ive had tests done; ct scans came back normal and blood work came back normal. a doctor think it may be my eyes (im getting contacts tomorrow) and ive recently began seeing a chiropractor, because i just can't take it anymore! he said my neck is very straight and its supposed to be in somewhat of a curve. i was in a car accident 2 years ago and saw him then and he also said the same thing. he has adjusted my neck quite forcefully and ive felt a bit of relief. im just scared that going through with the treatment is going to be a waste of time. i dont really see what else these pains could be. its not stress, because these pains are EVERY DAY and occur more often with movement. i just really want him to be sincerely helping me. could a pinched neck nerve really cause such head pains?
