A pinched nerve is a condition that may last several months or longer, and be the cause of extreme discomfort. If this condition persists and does not go away on its own, pain relievers such as aspirin or ibuprophen may be needed to alleviate the pain, and a trip to the doctor, chiropractor, or neurologist may be required.

Is their such thing as a pinched nerve that is slient?

A pinched nerve usually starts with tingling and/or pain, The pain usually radiates; following a long narrow path from one part of the body to another. And, there may be numbness. If you are referring to the 'silent' as meaning that it has no sensation, then, yes. A pinched nerve can be 'silent.'
