Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

A pinched nerve occurs when there is "compression" (pressure) on a nerve.

Treatment may include:

NSAIDs. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as aspirin or ibuprofen may reduce swelling.

Oral corticosteroids. These are used to reduce swelling and pain.

Narcotics. These are used for brief periods to reduce severe pain.

Steroid injections. These injections may reduce swelling and allow inflamed nerves to recover.

Physical therapy. This will help stretch and strengthen muscles.

Splint. A splint or soft collar limits motion and allows muscles to rest for brief periods.

Surgery. Surgery may be needed for more severe problems that don't respond to other types of treatment.

Work with your doctor to find the best approach for treating your symptoms.

Hope this helps
