What are the symptoms of a pinched nerve?

Pinched nerves in the neck mostly cause neck pain, headaches, or referral of symptomes into the arm or arms. An example would be ar or hand pain, arm weakness, tingling in the arm or hand, or a hand or arm that feels like it's falling asleep. This usually involves a lower cervical nerve. Sometimes a higher cervical pinched nerve can cause headaches also. The bottom line is that if you cut off nerve supply you will get symptoms of some sort.If you think you suffer from this I would see your doctor or chiropractor. At home I would use a neck roll or the cervical traction pillow to help align the spine and help relieve nerve pressure.


I dropped a large object on my top of my foot where I have Morton's neuroma if I pick my foot up to wash it feels like a hot poker is on top of my foot. Do you think I severe the nerve?

Severing a nerve means loss of feeling and movement for the area affected. Because you feel pain in this affected area, it is not likely that the nerve was severed. It may be pinched or otherwise damaged, however, so it could be in your best interest to see your doctor. Good luck!
