Why is there a pinching feeling in your elbow?
A pinching feeling in your elbow could be caused by nerve compression, muscle strain, or joint inflammation. It is important to rest the elbow, avoid activities that worsen the pain, and consult a medical professional for proper diagnosis and treatment.
What nerve is highly dependent upon impulses transmitted by the pinching motion?
Median nerve
What can cause constant arm pain?
Pinching of the brachioradialis nerve.
What is compression of the fifth cranial nerve?
Compression of the fifth cranial nerve, also known as trigeminal nerve compression, can result in facial pain, numbness, and tingling. This nerve is responsible for sensation in the face, and compression can lead to symptoms such as trigeminal neuralgia. Treatment options may include medication, nerve blocks, or surgery to relieve the compression and alleviate symptoms.
Can ulnar nerve compression lead to ALS?
No
What does it mean when your toes are numb?

What is the medical term meaning pinched nerve?
A "pinched nerve" is a layperson's term to describe damage or injury to a nerve when it is either compressed, constricted or stretched.Nerve compression or pinching most often occurs near or within or near the spinal column where nerves emerge from the spinal cord to travel through a narrow exit point of spinal column called a neural foramin, traveling eventually to all parts of the body. At their point of exit from the spine all nerves are vulnerable to injury by compression or pinching by various soft tissue and joints of the spinal column. When a nerve is pinched or compressed near the location where it exists the spine it is radiculopathy.Nerves can also be constricted, stretched or pinched anywhere along their pathway of distribution away from the spine. This can happen when a a nerve passes over or near a bone (carpal tunnel syndrome) and is called an entrapment syndrome.Pinched nerves occur when repeated or excessive irritation or pressure is delivered to delicate nerve tissue by other tissue surrounding the nerve, like bone, cartilage, muscles or tendons. Over a period of time this pinching interferes with the ability of the nerve to carry a normal nerve message. As a result, the abnormal nerve signal results in the classic symptoms of a pinched nerve:pain,burning,tingling (paresthesia),numbnessweakness in the body part being supplied.
What happens when back pain is caused by nerve compression?
When back pain is caused by nerve compression , pain may travel, or radiate, from the back to peripheral areas, usually following the course of the nerve as it supplies the arm or leg.
What is the latest research on nerve compression?
Research is ongoing to try to better understand the triggers for the various nerve compression syndromes, and to find better and more efficient rehabilitation techniques.
Where is pain felt when a L5 nerve is pinched?
Pinching of the L5 nerve causes weakness in the big toe and ankle and pain on the top of the foot that may extend up to the buttocks.
What does it mean to have sharp pinching pain your lower back?

What is neural compression?
Neural compression syndrome is a medical condition where you have pressure on a single nerve. This will cause pain, numbness, and tingling.
