Inflamation of thiatic nerve?
86665
Well, it's actually the Psiatic nerve. Bed rest is best. No lifting, bending, and little walking. It is best to stand up or lie down, but not to sit. Talk to a chiropractor or orthopedist about the problem. Many non-invasive therapies are available.

Oh, ya. It hurts so bad. For three straight years I had the shooting pains of TN and a burning sensation on the whole side of my face and head. Couldn't eat, sleep, wash my face or teeth on that side, the slightest breeze would be almost unbearable. Tegretol (an anti-convulsant) worked for me pretty well, however I would still have episodes. My doctor discovered a herpes virus next to my trigeminal nerve. He put me on Acyclovir a herpes medication and I have been pain free for several months now. I do not have herpes anywhere else in my body. I hope you have a doctor that is helpful and empathetic. Only go for the surgeries as a last resort.

Probably because a nerve is being pinched, but it could be something more serious. I think it would indeed be well to check with a physician. It is simply good sense.

Ouch! Nerve pain like that is just awful. If you haven't experienced it, you can't explain it to someone else. It is so intense! When I was in my forties, I wrenched my lumbar vertebrae helping a service man move a 300-lb. gas cylinder. I even heard it when my back went out. I went to a chiropractor, and he cleared that out in ONE visit. Until you find a way you are willing to try, use ice to reduce the inflammation. When you do that to your back, everything gets swollen up and pushed tightly together. The ice pack makes the muscles contract and open up inside so all the parts can move again. This tightening up is called "splinting," and is a natural mechanism your body uses to protect that painful place in your back. The ice pack should be kept on twenty to twenty-five minutes per hour, possibly four times during the day. You will notice it getting much easier to bear. The ice pack also tells your brain to send more blood to that area, which helps to flush all that congestion away from the sore spot. I strongly urge you to see a chiropractor. In ONE visit, you will be able to immediately find relief to a very considerable extent from what has probably been driving you up the walls. The problem with this kind of pain is that it is relentless and does not stop while you are trying to sleep at night. If you begin to miss your sleep cycle, you will get strung out, crabby and irritable, and that just adds to it. So - if you are not keen on chiropractors, go to your family doctor instead, but do not sit home, in agony and immobilized in a chair. That would be just too stressful. Call a best friend to drive you to and from, if that would help you. Reach out. I am hoping others in this column at Yahoo! Answers will also offer you ways to get better really quickly. Please accept this huge load of love and support from Chris in South Portland, Maine, U.S.A. (I am 63 years old.)

possibly a nerve has been pinched or pressured..if it was discolored then it would be a blood circualtion issue that needs immediate attention...if it becomes discolored,swollen,hurting then see a doc...have you done any trauma to it??Such as stubbing it,dropped something on it,...this can cause a nerve to be impeded...

It depends on what is pinching the nerve. Is it bone or muscle or disc. and at which level it is getting compressed and for how long. and what procedure has been under taken to relieve the nerve. and what is your general body health. and what is the extent of injury meanse does it only compressed for a day and showing the sighn of compression only like pain and tingling or its got a cut. Please First provide all this details including your age

You should go to the emergency room and have them check that out. That sound scary. You might have ripped a nerve or something like that.

Any numbness infers a nerve blockage...there is a nerve serving the back of the head with many branches ... there is pressure on the nerve in the upper cervical region. You should have almost immediate relief from your treatment. It may take a day or two for the inflammatory process to be reduced. Your doctor will advise you well.

I would see an MD.  A cold sensation, burning, tingling, and numbness can all be signs of a nerve problem.  To prevent pssible nerve damage see an MD

It could be something as simple as a nerve being impinged by a disc, repetitive motion injury, or carpal tunnel syndrome, or it might be indicative of something more serious.  (Please see the links below.)\n\nThis is not something that falls under the "self-help" category.  Certainly, it warrants going to a doctor.  You may need to start with your primary care physician, who should then refer you to a specialist.\n\nI was hit by a car 18 years ago, and due to several degenerative conditions in my neck and back, I'll frequently experience the same thing.  There are many different treatments, should the experts find that that is also your problem.  Best wishes to you!
