What happens when you pinch a nerve?
If you pinch the nerve then you will have a reaction worse then what you would feel when you get a regular pinch. The nerve is the symptom that causes the pain when you get pinched , so if you get pinched on your nerve exactly then you would have very painful reaction that could maybe cause the place that got pinched to be numb for a few weeks. But to actually pinch the nerve you would have to open the last layer of skin.

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.
