Nerve Pain- Mine seems different?
816483
Anytime you have a cervical herniated disc it is going to affect your arms and hands.  You may have a disc that is pinching on the one nerve to your pinky fingers.  I don't believe it is something different but you may want to ask your doctor about it.

It sounds like you have a slightly pinched nerve.  Try hot pads on it, and an anti-inflammatory like Motrin.

When there is nerve damage, you might have neuropathic pain..which often shows as tingling, burning, or feels pressure sensitive. or You might not have any any sensation.\n\nIf pain is the issue, there are medications good for nerve pain..tricyclic medications as an example, ..but they take about 3 months for blood levels to rise and where there would be an effect.\n\nIf pain is not the issue, but you've lost function..that is different.  The doctor might order an EMG.  They put small surface electrodes on the path where the muscles would be stimulated and check the electrical activity with a machine, that shows a type of graph.  Doesn't take long.  You don't give enough detail to know how to answer re treatments.  ..sorry

You have a pinched ulnar or radial nerve on your left side. The tip off is the fingers involved.  See a neurologist if you want to find out exactly where the nerve is pinched. Rest the area and if your symptoms get worse each day (like you describe) then either you are still aggravating the injury or probably you need total rest of that hand and arm so healing can take place. Healing can take from a few days to months, so my advice is to take this hint from your body seriously before you have permanent nerve damage.\n\nhttp://www.webmd.com/content/pages/4/1661_50313.htm\n\nhttp://health.yahoo.com/ency/healthwise/aa136625

could be a pinched nerve. try stretches, heat, massage, see a doctor as a last result. alot of things can be taking over the counter.

Has this been a common thing your whole life? Perhaps your nerves are damaged. You may have been born this way--the only other thing I can think of that could contribute to this would be surgery (especially to the back, where all the nerves come together).

Seems unlikely that the nerve would be repairing itself this soon.  It's probably inflammation, which is part of wound healing.\nTake some pain meds like an antiinflammatory.\nAlso, any dnetist or surgeon worth anything should have an after hours phone number you can call, and get you through to the surgeon for some help.

Please check with your doctor. I could be an impingement (where an inflamed nerve is getting caught) and it can actually be from problem in your neck. Please don't disregard it, its something a doctor will need to do x-rays for. Good luck.

I have Sciatica and my symptoms are a numb foot and my calf feels like the muscle is pulled.  I had an MRI and its a pinched S1 nerve from a bulging disk.  I know someone else who had sciatica from a L5 herniation and nerve pinch and there was buttock and ankle soreness.  Usually sciatica goes lower than just the buttocks but not always.  My Doc told me that it is possible to injure a disk by sneezing or vomiting if you already have a weakness there.  Also, many times its just muscle related and goes away with time.  He might want to try massage, or talk to his Doc about getting muscle relaxer and anti-inflammatory meds if he doesn't get better.  The next step is an MRI diagnosis if it doesn't respond any in a few weeks. I was told that it usually takes about 6 weeks to heal from a disk problem. Good luck!

Sounds like nerve damage, possibly a pinched nerve, Don't fool around with waiting and seeing, my sister did permanent nerve damage this way partly due to a dread of the Dr. & partly due to a high pain tolerance.\nTake the same good care of this as you would for a young child in your care.\nBest wishes on this.Also, if it's the left arm, this is a classic sign of heart attack, often with no other symptoms. You seriously need the support of a Dr., please don't wait until you regret it.

Hmm.. It appears to it that you are having invisible exorcist trauma, or simply pinched nerve- call a doctor for further analysis or a health help line

possibly a nerve has been pinched or pressured..if it was discolored then it would be a blood circualtion issue that needs immediate attention...if it becomes discolored,swollen,hurting then see a doc...have you done any trauma to it??Such as stubbing it,dropped something on it,...this can cause a nerve to be impeded...

You probably pinched a nerve. Give it a few days, and if you don't have normal feeling back, consult a doctor.

it sounds similar to carpal tunnel, do you use computers a lot or do a  job with ripetitive movements of your wrist? see the doctor because the earliest it is caught the better the treatment process before too much damage to the nerve is done.

It probably IS nerve damage or nerve pinching of some kind. The fact that the pain travels up your arms reveals that. I'm no doctor but my father is a chiropractor (some don't believe in chiropractors, I know). We have patients with pinched nerves all the time, though it is almost always starting in their low back and going down to the legs. Starting in the hands IS odd, but it sounds a lot like the cases we have. We have had a few cases similiar to this one, but chiropractic cannot do a whole lot for it. Ultrasound is our main therapy with some adjustments the Chiropractor does.\n\nMore information is obviously required, as I have no idea your age or if you have even seen a doctor about this (I would assume you have, but if you have not, GO SEE ONE!), and the fact that I am NOT a doctor. Also, you say no weakness or tingling, but how about numbness?\n\nWhatever it turns out to be, I hope you find an answer and a solution!

It sounds like a problem with your sciatic nerve.
