Do pinched nerves in back always cause back pain?

Yes, they cause pain like when you cut your finger off and nail it to a wallAnother POV:No, not always. Depending on the nerve and its placement, it does not always cause pain. A pinched nerve can cause other sensations, such as warmth, cold, numbness and tingling - to no feeling at all in certain areas, and in many cases, you'd never know you had one.


Can a pinched nerve go away and come back?

Well in answer to the question about pinched nerves coming and going. I have an incident where I had a pinched nerve in my shoulder and it fixed itself. One evening as I was typing on the computer at work it felt like my bones slipped in my shoulder and boy did it hurt. I didn't know what was happening. Then in a few seconds it did it again. Ouch it hurt. But then the second time cleared up the pinched nerve and today my shoulder no longer hurts and I am fine. No surgery. Praise the Lord! As I had already had surgery in my left shoulder and it took four months for me to rehabilitate I was very happy. That was a year and a half ago.

What causes lower back pains dizziness and weak?

It depends on if the back pain and the other symptoms are related. A "pinched nerve" would cause all of those. There are various ways to determine if they are isolated or acting in relation to each other, there are also ways of diffusing each one, separately or together. Dizziness when of spinal origin, is usually higher in the spine that lower. Weakness can come anything nerve conduction is impeded/pinched. Things like your age, your history, any injuries and body type are all important factors, none of which I could know from just your question. Hope this helps. Good Luck.

How can you tell if a tooth nerve is infected or just inflamed?

Go to the dentist! You can not run around with a infection in your tooth. If you think you have a infection in your tooth that is enough reson to go to the dentist. They know if a nerve is infected or inflamed. -------- Even if it is inflamed that means that the dental nerve is infected with bacteria, and if left untreated it can lead to gangrene and root treatment. See this video about infection of the dental nerve http://www.checkdent.com/en/videos/tooth-inflammation-159.html
