https://community.qvc.com/t5/Wellness/Pinched-Nerve/m-p/216682#M4483 <P>Two weeks ago tomorrow, I woke up with a pain in my neck. It seemed like I had slept wrong the night before. We were going to the beach, so I rode for seven hours in pain. By bedtime that night, I couldn't stand the pain. It had settled in my left shoulder. I was up the entire night in terrible pain.</P> <P>The next morning, my DH took me to the communicare. The doctor there gave me a muscle relaxer and pain pills to get me through the vacation. Needless to say, I ddn't have much fun on our trip. I basically stayed in the condo and slept. Since the pain was awful, I could only sleep when taking both pills.</P> <P>We got back last Sunday. On Monday, I called my doctor, but he was on vacation. I saw another doctor in the practice, and she gave me prednisone. My DH urged me not to start this medication due to complications that his mother faced from this drug. </P> <P>Basically I have been taking the muscle relaxer and pain pills at night for pain. I haven't slept well in two weeks. It doesn't seem to be getting any better. </P> <P>I feel like it might be a pinched nerve. My left shoulder hurts and the pain goes all the way down my arm. My fingers are also tingly. </P> <P>Have any of you had anything that sounds like this? If so, what brought you relief. I honestly don't think I can stand this pain much longer. I am not a medicine person. I rarely take anything, but I feel that I am popping pills like candy just to get relief. I would appreciate any suggestions that any of you may have. Thanks!</P> Sat, 30 Jun 2012 01:11:25 GMT Kcubed 2012-06-30T01:11:25Z https://community.qvc.com/t5/Wellness/Pinched-Nerve/m-p/216682#M4483 <P>Two weeks ago tomorrow, I woke up with a pain in my neck.
