How To Treat Severe Pain In Neck And Chest Caused Due To Compressed Nerve?
My boyfriend has been in pain for weeks. We have gone to the emergency room and they told him he may have a pinched nerve in his neck. He is experiencing such pain now, and nothing is relieving it. It has been 3 weeks since he was at the hospital. Now the pain is under his arm pit. The pain radiates from the right side of his chest, to his back , under his arm pit and completely down his right arm. His fingers have now become swollen.
