No happy ending but Happy Feet Reflexology on Rt 70 I. Marlton does a really good TM

Massage is nice, but the only thing that fixed my pinched nerve was Physical Therapy. Things started getting better almost immediately and after a month of 3 times a week I have not had any further problems.

I agree with NG. I got a massage when I had a pinched nerve and it got worse. Physical therapy helped relieve my pain immediately.

I have herniated disc's in my neck. This can cause numbness and pins/needles down my left arm and shoulder. The disc compresses the nerve. The best thing I found was active release therapy, take Alieve twice a day and if you know where the pinch is, stretch. You need to give the nerve time to settle down. This can take weeks. A massage might end up aggravating the nerve more. Pain meds will only mask the pain and you might feel well enough to do movements that will in fact aggravate the nerve more and the cycle repeats. Stay away from the pain meds imo. Take Alieve as it will reduce swelling, advil just doesn't cut it.

If you feel any numbness in your extremities go to the ER. It means that the nerve is being damaged. I waited and now I have dropfoot.

Don't get it how you try to get a help from here on your physical damage. See your physician or Chiropractor.

I find ibuprofen to work better than naproxen for pain and inflammation, but for long term use naproxen is safer according to my doctors.
I have a herniated disc and SI joint disfunction. And a pars defect to boot.
I agree, unless you know of a very specialized massage therapist, it can make the nerve worse. PT is the way to go, along with acupuncture

I'm not a doctor but I play one on AMP Reviews.

stretching for herniated disc. Mine was never ultimately corrected until I had an L4-L5 laminectomy.

Thank you everyone for the replies

So I ended up going to get the meds, still think I need to have a good, not too hard massage though, mostly to relax everything, when the meds wear off I can't hold my head up, but I still have to work 80 hours this week lol
