Pain Relief
What can I do to ease the pain of a possible pinched nerve?
Yeserday I was in severe pain from what I think is a pinched nerve. It hurts from my shoulder to my fingertips. my finger tips feel cold at times. I thought it was better this morning then when i got to work it has gradually started to hurt again. I am 20 wks pregnant so i can only take tylenol which doesnt seem to work. I have a dr appt. tomorrow but is there anything I can do in the meantime to ease the pain to help me get through work? or does anyone know any good websites with info on this? Thanks for the help!

look for a physical therapist that does manual manipulation, they are way better than a chiropractor! Nothing else to do because of your pregnancy. Good Luck!

too bad you happen to be pregnant as what you need are muscle relaxers…the best i can offer is to consult a physical thearpist as they can reccomend some stretches that may aleviate the pinching on the nerve.

Take a ball peen hammer, and smash your right toe! It will definitely take your mind off the pinched nerve!

Web MD…. As for simple fixes, alternating heat and ice on the shoulder neck nerve should help. Its what always worked in football for should stingers and that is what it sounds like.

A chiropractor will be your best relief. With that, you do not have to worry about medications with the baby. The Md will be able to free the pinch nerve. Also if your finger tips feel cold at times, you may be pinching some blood supply. He will be able to release that also. You need to be careful with blood supply.
You can also use heat at the area that hurts….it may give you some relief. Do some gentle stretching to release the muscles. Hope this helps
