Yes. A pinched nerve can cause a muscle to contract. The "bump" that can be felt is actually the center of the tightened muscle. Massage may be used to relax the muscle. Relieving the pinched nerve is of course the better answer.
Pinched nerve .Or sciatica, an inflammation of the sciatic nerve.
I was just at the doctor and asked about an intense itching on my back. She diagnosed it as a pinch skin nerve. Apparently itching, with no visible rash, is a classic symptom of this type of pinched nerve.
Yes, pinched is a verb. It's the past tense and past participle of the verb "pinch". Past participles can also be used as adjectives.Example:Jason has a pinched nerve in his back. (The adjective "pinched" describes the noun "nerve".)
Yes, they cause pain like when you cut your finger off and nail it to a wallAnother POV:No, not always. Depending on the nerve and its placement, it does not always cause pain. A pinched nerve can cause other sensations, such as warmth, cold, numbness and tingling - to no feeling at all in certain areas, and in many cases, you'd never know you had one.
Talk to a doctor.
You could have a pinched nerve in your back or neck. You should see a chiropractor immediately to have it looked at.
Yes it can because the sciatic nerve runs from the low back down to the sole of the foot. If this nerve is pinched then you can experience weakness in the legs. You need to see your doctor for this symptom.
A pinched nerve that gets "squashed" when you lean backwards at the lower back.
The answer is very simple - Pinched Nerve!
Only if the nerve being pinched is being caused by a herniated disk, or other problem which is visible via the scan. However, CT scan with dye (Myelogram) tends to be more effective at showing up problems. In many cases you really don't need a scan, as the nerve path being irritated can tell you which nerve is being pinched. From there, if you can trace it back to the problem origin, you can determine what's causing it if you've had an injury. Even exercising without proper stretching can cause a pinched nerve. A pinched nerve is easy enough to identify - it feels like being stabbed with a heavy gage needle. In those cases where the nerve is being severely pinched (such as a disk herniation) you can literally feel the pain down the entire nerve path. This is why sciatic nerve pinches from a disk herniation can be felt down the back of the legs - that's the nerve pathway. If it doesn't get better or go away after a few days, then there's cause to get it looked at, or if the pain is severe enough that it interferes with daily activity. Most aren't that bad, and can be caused by simply sitting or sleeping in a bad position, even bad posture.
