Hello.

Is the nerve pinched at the spine? The cervical MRI should be able to show the problem.

If it is pinched by a bulging disc, the disc can be repaired or removed. Can you give some more information?

Regards

no mri yet. no cat scan.  my primary doctor prescribed skelaxin.  i am in the middle of having cataract surgery. one eye last week, second eye next week.                                                                 pain down arm is only during night.  I do not sleep on my arm, only on my back. However, my shoulder is restricted to movements allthe time.  Putting a shirt on is diffucult, movement is limited.   thank you

I started with a stiff neck, which moved to my left shoulder and then down my left arm and eventually led to tinkling sensations in my finger tips.  The pain was so excruciating that I went to the hospital emergency and they gave me a shot of morophine, after trying other pain relievers which did nothing.
I started getting chiropractic adjustments twice a day for about 5 days and now after 10 days since the initital onset of pain, I'm much better.  I'm taking pain meds once or twice a day, as opposed to 4 to 5 times previously.  I also am getting daily chiropractic adjustments.
