Where is the discharge coming from?

A discharge is not usually associated with a "pinched nerve."

Hello.

It sounds like you are not doing well.

Do you have a specific question?

In the meantime, I recommend that you see your primary care health care provider at your earliest convenience so that your concerns may be addressed.
