Could an injury to the wrist cause a piched nerve to the cervical area?

Thank you for your question. My answer is "No." However, an injury to the cervical spinal nerves or those even lower, like an injury to the axillary (armpit) nerves or those in the elbow region can cause the symptoms of a pinched nerve with pain in the wrist. Pain would be located at the nerve injury or down the limb from the injured nerve. The only way a wrist injury could possibly cause a pinched nerve to your cervical region is if your wrist injury caused you to hold your wrist in a position that would strain your neck and pinch the nerves there. Very difficult to do.


What happens when you pinch a nerve?

If you pinch the nerve then you will have a reaction worse then what you would feel when you get a regular pinch. The nerve is the symptom that causes the pain when you get pinched , so if you get pinched on your nerve exactly then you would have very painful reaction that could maybe cause the place that got pinched to be numb for a few weeks. But to actually pinch the nerve you would have to open the last layer of skin. It would be nearly impossible to pinch the nerve so in that case pinching the nerve would hurt if you had surgery that cut through all of the layers of skin, and a doctor accidentally pinched it, but you can't pinch the nerve without all of the layers of skin open.
