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. It would be nearly impossible to pinch the nerve so in that case pinching the nerve would hurt if you had surgery that cut through all of the layers of skin, and a doctor accidentally pinched it, but you can't pinch the nerve without all of the layers of skin open.

What is the best medicine for a pinched nerve in your neck that causes bad migraines?
Migraines are a genetic neurologic disease - the cause is in your genes. However, a pinched nerve in the cervical spine area (neck) can trigger Migraine attacks in people with the genetic capacity for them. Usually the best way to begin to manage Migraines is to find and eliminate triggers. In this case, that would include the pinched nerve. Depending upon the nature of the pinched nerve, it may be possible for a pain management specialist to do a nerve block procedure that might be helpful in at least temporarily eliminating or improving this trigger. This nerve block injection will contain a numbing agent and usually a corticosteroid.
