Pinched Nerve In Neck Symptoms & Treatment

I’ve been like this for 2 years my doctor seems to just want to put me on painkillers it started by left side going numb around 1.8 years ago then my right side under my shoulder blade was always sore now it’s on the left side and middle of my spine still can’t get to the bottom of it been for a scan around a year ago and went into the docs again and they told me it’s nothing I know my own body isn’t right so walked out and now waiting to get a new doctor to sort this health care In the uk is a joke as I went in and said it’s been going ok for 2 years and they look at you as if your lying

Omg this helped me so much. I was actually using a heating pad and know I know this made it worse. I feel so much better thanks to you !!❤

Howdy. I do not have a history of neck injury. I am 51, healthy and fit. I was cleaning my wood boiler 4 days ago and it requires stooping down on the ground and putting one hand upward as I pull downwards with the other hand, all while kneeling on my knees and turning my head to look upwards and downwards continously.

The next morning I felt a medium range discomfort in my left shoulder and neck. Here it is 4 days later with nearly the same discomfort. It is good at night until I've been laying down for more than 7 hours, then after I rise it worsens over a couple of hours of standing to do light household work.

It gets so stiff where I can't look downwards more than 50% of usual motion, and 100% upward too, left, and right. When I do neck traction for 15 to 20 minutes with a towel, hanging upside down, or laying on my back level, it gets much better. Also dead hanging makes it better too. Then it returns. I have to repeat this throughout the day.

It hurts in the middle of my neck, at the shoulder level, and sometimes across my left shoulder and upper arm, to look all the way down or up, and to look left, to stand for more than 45 minutes, etc.

This must be a pinched nerve, correct? Since it retreats when I do the traction. Thank you!

Facts my DA fell asleep on a heating pad last night and woke up way more inflamed. I put a ice pack on at work and I felt so much better. DO NOT USE HEAT! & don’t be like me, take it easy on your hubs ❤😂

Thank you for sharing 🙏🏾

Hope that will help in the long run.

I have nerve pinched, and I can't lift my arm. This exercise doesn't work for me

I felt a slight tingling while doing the exercise. Does this mean I shouldn't do the exercise? Are there any alternative exercises you could recommend?

I suddenly started getting after carrying my bag I thought it was my bag but my troso also felt pain when laying on the coach. My sides too. It wasn't just the back. But now it's just the shoulder, neck and back. I lost some weight because it hurts to lift my hand to eat. I lost appetite. 😢 it's so tiring to feed myself. I can only go for a quick drink of water. I could not sleep. I would stay up still 5am just standing up so my hands are flat down because my chair has armrest it's not going to go straight down. And my job a food delivery, make it worse. My mum says because I don't move enough. It's my orh orh posture it's has nothing to do with how much I move. I can go 4h walk and sleep and this problem will come back because it's my sleep posture

Do y’all get bad headaches?

Can a pinched nerve cause a cold burning/tightening/ tingling/numbing sensation in your head and shoulders ?

Infrared heat lamp is really helpful

Could you please tell me why my pinched nerve in my neck affects my mind? Thank you

Man what a helpful video
Definitely helped me out 👌🏼

Thanks for sharing

I left a pinched nerve in my neck for 7 years untreated. Am I screwed?

Thanks for suggesting this exercise, I got pinched nerve from the workout at the gym, and this exercise gave me instant relief

I'm here because I got pain in my neck going down to my arm. But it feels like I got the pain inside my arm bone

How to diagnose if the rib is pinching it, ? My drs are not being helpful!!

Will it heal ever? What kind of drug do you suggest?

wow this actually worked.. actually hurt to sit down or lean foward in any way. Thank you

Has anyone got this problem while you cough and sneeze?

Simple exercise but big impacts

Can there be vision changes from nerve injuries in the neck and shoulder area?

I get pain in my neck n my scalp gets numb n tingly. When I pitched, I was scared cuz I knew any throw could causes my neck to like get tight, hurt n crank my head to the side n after the whole scalp n buzzing lol I hate it

I have Cervical Spondylosis and it's getting worse, the pain is getting terrible and I take opioids for the pain but it's not helping as much as it use to. I'm getting the pain down the left arm now and across the top of the shoulder, unfortunately it has also come to mimicking angina, it's not good and it's getting me down. I also have Ankylosing Spondylitis in the spine. I hope that you all find relief from this awful condition.

What if the pain is too bad to be able to do this exercise? I'm currently not able to turn my head from side to side because of the pain.

So when does it heal? How long does it take if you're icing it???

I pissed out blood clots and kidney stones for two weeks and it hurt less than this. I can't move without screaming.

This made me feel so much better I could kiss you

Thank you so much, I was dealing with the most debilitating neck pain I’ve ever felt. I did the stretch once and I was immediately able to get up and move around again. This was incredibly helpful

I have pain on left side of my neck, and the other way I had a powerful shock in the same area that knocked down on the floor. When it happened I saw many lights. Could that be a pinched nerve or a carotid problem?
P.S.: I was watching real crime investigations on my iPhone, laying on my right side, in the previous night, as I always do, and think that was it triggered that shock. I am not watching anything on bed anymore, and am laying only on my back as the left side pain is constant. I’ve learnt the lesson.

I shouldof never started popping my neck, fingers, and back. REEEE

Thank you for the help! 💆‍♂️💊

Im 28, have since years pain in my spine between the shoulder blades that radiates in the the front of my chest, primarily where the chestbone is. I also have pain around my collarbone that goes down in my chest, and have more and more shallow breath due to more tension/pain. (also pain under the ribs and a very tense esophagus from where the pain in my spine radiates until my mouth) Also I don't have a big stress tolerance, since I'm kinda under that constant pressure or pain every time already, and so stressful situations and food that supports inflammation are really draining. I thought for a long time that I am in a stressloop which creates tenseness in my body which stresses me again (pingpong), but since I meditate a lot and am aware of my body I start to consider that something else is going on. May it be that I have issues at two points of my spine, since I have pain in my neck/collarbone until down between my shoulderblades? The main lain radiates from the spine between my shoulderblades (gets numb sometimes), but basically my whole upper body is thense all the time
I appreciate every advice!

Thank you

I can't move my arm anymore?

This is my MRI report; could you please tell me what I should do?
