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.' Usually this is noticeable and most people feel a bit uneasy when they loose sensation in a part of their body, so if you suspect that you may have a 'silent' or pinched nerve, or anything unusual, especially if it keeps you awake at night or prevents you from doing normal everyday activities, like getting dressed, eating, and brushing your teeth, then please get checked by your physician or another health professional.
What is the treatment for a pinched nerve in the neck?
I'm no expert, but I recently had a pinched nerve in my neck. My advice would definitely be to go to a doctor, chiropractor, or osteopath, etc because depending on where exactly the nerve is, the treatment is different - and if you don't get it treated properly, the nerve will die (after a long while I think) and you won't be able to feel the part of your body it connected to.Anyway, I went to a chiropractor, and she adjusted my neck to make sure every thing was properly aligned, and then instructed me to do the following:Ice the affected area for ONLY 20 minutes, once ever hour (I just wrap an icepack/bag of vegetables around my neck). I'm supposed to do this for the next 4 days or so and if the pain (and numbness maybe in your case) doesn't go away, see her again.And take an anti-inflammatory pill, like Aleave (I think) or Ibuprofen (which is a NSAID -- Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drug). I think Advil is made of the same exact thing as ibuprofen so that works too. Make sure it's OK for you to take these kinds of pills though by asking a doctor -- I researched Ibuprofen once and it has A LOT of possible side effects, many of which are rather scary.The reason for icing and the pill is to reduce the inflammation caused by the nerve being pinched, and this is supposed to relieve the nerve, I believe (again, I'm not an expert).Anyway, make sure you see a professional for your specific case because it may not be the same as mine.

Why do I have dull back pain and tingly feeling in your leg and loss of appetite and headaches 3 months after an accident?
It is probably a pinched nerve that leads to your hypothalamus, which controls hunger. A slipped disk can also explain dull back pain and the nerve thing would probably explain tingling in your leg. You should probably go see the doctor (if you haven't already).
What are the initials that indicate someone has a bachelor of physical therapy degree?
It is typically a BS degree. However, if this is being used after a name, it would not be the appropriate thing to do.

The minimum educational requirement today is a master's degree, and may shortly become a doctorate.

Samba and waltz is easy ode you can dance with a sciatic nerve damaged
