How Can A Pinched Nerve Be Treated?
I recently had a back injection for a pinched nerve. I was ok for about a day. Now, I ve been suffering more than when I had this done. My right, back of the thigh & caf. The dr. who did the procedure said it didn t work & left me high & dry. I have appointment next week with my Ortho dr. to discuss all of this. I can t have surgery & don t want it. I m on anti-inflammatory meds twice a day (500mg ea.) for a week now. I got them for my MD. They re not working. So, my conclusion, since I know my body, I still have a pinched nerve, or a very inflamed nerve. Been in pain for almost a month now. I ice it, very little heat. Thank you.

Hi
Adjust your posture. You may need to change how you're sitting or standing to relieve pain from a pinched nerve.
Rest
Splint
Stretch
Apply heat
Use ice
Elevate your legs could releive you to some extent
thank you take care.
