Do Pinched Nerve Cause Any Long Term Negative Effects?

If a nerve that exits from the C1,2,3,4,5 etc. is pinched due to bone growth and the patient on analgesics, will in the long run the nerve be damaged? Sorry I Didn t know I have to pay for this - unable to make a payment now - I ll try may be later. Thanks a lot. Bye.
