For three days I have had what seems like a pinched nerve in my neck on the right side, it radiates down my shoulder into my right arm . The pain is horrendous and working on a computer for 8 hours a day using my right arm is making it worse. Is this just a pinched nerve like I first thought or something more serious that requires a visit to my MD? Thanks.
Hi, Thank you for posting your query. Your symptoms are suggestive of a pinched nerve in the neck, as you have suspected. The diagnosis can be confirmed with an MRI scan of the cervical spine. Treatment consists of medications such a pregabalin to relieve pain and physiotherapy. Wishing you good health, Chat Doctor.
