Pinching Nerves

@Courtlynn Thanks! I have gotten an x-ray, they said my back is slightly not straight but the pain just take tylenol or something. I try not to take any medication if I don't need to.

@Linda1234 Thank you.

Hope you feel better soon .

I am totally afraid ! I'll do this the natural way

@AbbyGreenhill Dealing with the main, using some balm oils and massaging the area along with stretches.

@infatuatedbby And what way is that?

@infatuatedbby How do you feel now? Better?

@Sreekala yes i am feeling better now thank you!

I need to stretch my back body better

@infatuatedbby i know about some belts that they put for back pain. Have you ever tried those?

@Nawsheen I think my dad has the kit! The patch and you turn on electricity or something?

Thank you. The massaging helps temporary relief but not permanently. Hopefully tonight when I sleep and rest, it'll be better. When I went to the doctor for my lower back pains for pinching nerve, they told me to just take pain killers - weren't much of a help.

Needles right? My dad tried it never worked. I'm afraid to try it!

@TiarasOceanView I am not sure... it is better now for me :)

@infatuatedbby It worked for me. Sorry it did not work for your Dad. Yes well if you are afraid then maybe an electronic device like a Tens, no good?

Ouch! I get it in my back and it's no fun! I was on bedtest for a couple of days when it happened last time. I couldn't move without screaming

@chrissbergstrom yeah i hate that feeling!

@infatuatedbby it happened quite often in my feed when I was a teenager I would cry it was that painful

@infatuatedbby I'm no doctor, but I've had my share of injuries. When there is pain in one spot, I know my body tends to make up for it by using other muscles to compensate . . . and then it puts a strain in that area too. It's all connected. My friend is in IT - her shoulder/neck area was really hurting her and it was running down her arm. They told her it was stress related and the position she's in all the time while working. She had her upper area kneaded out by a masseuse (several sessions I think) and that helped her. Ah, so your aunt did acupuncture? My first acupuncturist was this lady who worked out of a hole in the wall downtown. My coach and his coach girlfriend recommended here. In the end she made me feel great, on top of accu, she also did chiropractic stuff which I didn't know she was going to do on me - and she was so rough I'm lucky I didn't walk out like a pretzel. The second acupuncturist was local and I went back to him so many times. He was gentle and was also an athlete himself. It does help to find the right person.

@much2say Yes she was, prior she was a nail manicurist then now she's a nurse. She's switched her majors quite a lot. I wonder if it's stress related. I do stress but only on the upcoming wedding and living situation. Shopping for homes, to live near my parents or up to a hour away. The homes here are way too expensive and old. But do I want to commute? So much on my mind ! I'm glad it's working for li when you have injuries! I'm all good again!

The lower back is an old injury that comes and goes. But this one is upper back/shoulder blade/neck, is new! I am doing yoga stretches again now.Thank you!! I am scared of slim needles, my dad got them before, and my aunt used to work in that field lol.

What have you been doing for the precautions ?

@prashu228 yes you are correct.. i get a lot of pain if i run on cement so now i jog on grass or sand, it is much better

@infatuatedbby ..not lifting weights or anything which gives pressure on back, sitting in chairs which supports back, also check mattress if it's good for spine, stopped jogging only walking from then onwards so that my spine area don't get disturbed. ..we can understand when are we getting that pain what to avoid..we have to check all those things..we understand our body better..

The tylenol loosen your muscles? I try not to take any medication if I can handle it. So far pain level is alright, just hurts when I move on purpose to see if these still the pinching.

@sishy7 I hope mine loosens up after I get a good nights rest. I hope!

@infatuatedbby It felt like it... or maybe because it relieved the pain a bit so I thought the pinch was loosen up somehow...

Ah that is what it is called, my dad has that kit. I used it once before.

Oh no I hope you're feeling better soon! Any remedies you're doing?

@LeaPea2417 I hate taking medication. I am trying to not take any.

@infatuatedbby I am just taking pain pills.

So far no improvement but it hasn't worsen so probably a few more days I hope!

@infatuatedbby I hope it will improve soon.

Thanks ! Have you been to a chiropractor before? What were your thoughts? I had a back brace band for my lower back but right now I'm facing upper back pains near my shoulder blade, neck area.

@nanette64 Oh no, how are you feeling now? Or what do you usually do. I use an oil balm based and had it massaged. I don't like patches, but we have it so I will give it a try.

@infatuatedbby When I finally went to a chiropractor, he said he couldn't touch me because I would become paralyzed (I had waited too long to get help). Have you tried the Icy/Hot Patches yet? They work really well (I use them). They are not easy to put them on yourself in those specific areas, but it can be done.

How do you bare! I need to start laughing! All of a sudden today at 2pm, I have the annoying pinching of my nerves in some angles when I turn my neck or bend it, etc. I didn't wake up with it! So weird.

@infatuatedbby - I get sometimes just standing up.

@teamfreak16 How do you deal with it?! I think you can tolerate pain better than me!

It did help - thank you.

I am afraid if I go to a chiropractor I'll get addicted and need to go often. I am feeling much better, back to 100% though!

@moffittjc That is exactly how I feel when I watch the YouTube videos lol!

Oh I see! I use the Asian oils. I'm not sure if there are any menthol in it

@infatuatedbby It works for me.

@JustBhem My mom just helped apply some and massaged it in. I hope it'll help. It feels nice so far.

Thanks, his hand are tired now.

I just experienced it. I went before with my lower back pain and they just told me to get Tylenol. I got x ray perform and my back is slightly not straight but nothing significant or problematic yet..

Thank you! I will try that next time.

@ShifaLk thank you very much, you too!

@infatuatedbby yes my dear and take care
