I would ask the doctor if running a MRI on her to see if she has any back disc problems, then if she does physical therapy is good, if that dosent help with the nerve being pinched she may need to see a nurosurgean for more options, I had the same problem, waited to long and now have a fused lower spine,

I would see an MD.  A cold sensation, burning, tingling, and numbness can all be signs of a nerve problem.  To prevent pssible nerve damage see an MD

You might want to consider chiropractic treatment. Your pain may be caused by a pinched nerve in your upper spine. If you have never been to a chiropractor, one thing you should know is that it is less expensive and painful than seeing a medical doctor.

some people are going to get all panicky and tell you it's a heart attack but it could very likely be a pinched nerve. i would make an appointment with your doctor and explain your symptoms and severity and they may recommend doing more tests to make sure it's not your heart and they can also do more testing to see if it's a pinched nerve.

Take off all your clothes and lay on the Bed for a few minutes to see if it go away. May try stretching the leg some too. It could be a pinched nerve and should be OK in a few days. I not sure what you feel, but, you know your Body better than anyone. IF, it not feel right to you soon, you may want to see a Doctor just to play it safe. Many problems can start out feeling like nothing and slowly progress into a major disabling condition.

The most common symptoms of a pinched nerve are:\n\n    * numbness,\n    * "pins and needles" or burning sensations\n    * pain radiating outward from the injured area\n\nDo you have any of these symptoms?

It sounds like some sort of nerve entrapment syndrome...and when you are bending your hands in a certain way, it is putting additional strain on nerves that don't have much room to move around...leading to pain.  Most people with something like this will often complain of tingling and/or a numbness sensation, as well.  It is similar to Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (which is the most common type of nerve entrapment syndrome).\n\nBut...it is really hard to say that this is what it is for sure.  If you see a doctor for an exam, a thorough examination might help.  Also, there are "nerve conduction" tests they can do.\n\nIn the end, if this is the problem...sometimes avoidance of certain activities help considerably.  Also, anti-inflammatory medications (such as ibuprofen) regularly can help.  Occasional splinting is also helpful.  Weight loss is also very helpful, if the person with this problem is very overweight.  If all this fails and problems get worse, surgery is considered...to "open" the area up where the nerve is being "pinched".\n\nIn any event, a full exam by a doctor could help figure out if this is the cause or something else.\n\nI hope this helped some!

Sounds more like a pinched nerve if the ER is saying nothing is wrong.  However, since the ER could not do a stress test or an MRI it is tough to be sure that it is not your heart.

It really depends on what is the cause of the pinching.  It may be muscular, but is also may be discogenic.  Proper exercises differ depending on the cause of your symptoms. I would not advise doing any exercises recommended from the web until you are seen by a physician and diagnosed.  General rule of thumb: if it increases pain, numbness and tingling (especially in the thigh or leg) don't do it.  Try resting and heat/ice for the pain.  And go see your physician.

Depends what is pinching it and where.  Common areas where the nerve can be pinched are: where the nerve exits the spine; from a bulging or herniated disc; from a deep hip muscle called your piriformis being in spasm around the nerve; from the nerve itself being tight.  That's just for starters!!\n\nYou need an evaluation from a certified McKenzie therapist - a specially trained physical therapist who can evaluate you and determine where the nerve is being pinched.  Check out www.mckenziemdt.org - they also have exercises that you can do now that may help.\n\nIs this a recent problem?  If so, putting ice around the painful area is the best thing for up to 10 minutes every hour.  If it is older than 1-2 weeks, use a heating pad for 10-15 mins.  If in doubt, use ice!  If you put heat on something that is inflammed, it will get worse.\n\nAsk your doctor for a referal to a good physical therapist.  We are trained to find out what the problem is and treat you accordingly.\n\nAccupuncture may also help.  So may massage therapy to the tight areas.

Sounds like you have a pinched nerve. I've had that before... you could go to a doctor, but there isn't really anything they can do. They will just tell you to "give it time, and it will stop"....
