Pinched Spinal Nerve
A pinched spinal nerve happens when a nerve gets too much pressure. It can affect different areas, especially tendons, muscles, cartilage, and bones. This pressure would disrupt the function of the nerve, thus leading to weakness, numbness, tingling, and pain. A herniated disk in the lower spine is a common cause of a pinched spinal nerve. Fortunately, resting and some common conservative treatments can help relieve the symptoms and speed up healing. Most cases can recover in a few days or weeks. In more serious cases, surgery is necessary to alleviate pain. [14]
