I took a few days off after a rear end collision and after 3 days my work wants a "treating medical professional" to fill out some forms for a medical leave of absence. My family physician says I can go back after one week. My Chiropractor says I should not perform physical work for 3 weeks or until my pinched nerve/muscle spasms start to go away.
Can a Chiropractor make these decisions and fill out a medical leave form??
I’m not lazy…..I just dont want to aggravate an ongoing back issue!

I am in pain every day. I have tried rubbing the neck with liniment and applying hot wheat bags, even exercises for the neck, but the pain is right up the back of the neck , to the lower head on one side A doctor suggested a pinched nerve but this has gone on for weeks . Is there a pillow to give some relief?

i have been doing a lot of advanced and new cheerleading stunts lately and one day after practice i started to get this stinging sharp pain just a little bit under my shoulder blade whenever i move my arm. s this a pinched nerve? thank u s much!
(btw this is not just being sore)

I went to drs. an he said I possibly have a pinched nerve in back of my neck.Sent me yesterday for xrays.If I do,what will they wanna do?

I have a Sharp pain in my right shoulder blade area that I assume to be a pinched nerve. Pain ‘radiates’ around the spot and my right arm/hand is tingly/semi-numb. The pain started happening Thursday morning, it’s now Sunday afternoon an getting worse. Pain killers havent done anything… Doctors appt? Thanks!

I have been experiencing pain for about 3 weeks on my right side and left side. A little in my back and pelvic area. I did a cat scan without contrast and the radiologist said that the liver was enlarged. My doctor did a bloodtest and one of the liver enzymes were slightly elevated. He checked the liver and it was a normal size. He sent me for another cat scan with contrast because the other one got lost. That one came out normal. I went to the ER because no pain medicine was helping. They did a chest x-ray as well as an abdominal x-ray. Normal. Sonogram was taken and it showed the liver enlarged. Doctor in hospital called my GP. GP said that I should go for an MRI of the spine as it can be a pinched nerve. Can the 2 of them be related? If the cat scan came out normal then why did the sonogram show the liver enlarged? What does it mean liver enlarged? Can it be that that is my normal size liver? If it is a pinched nerve then do I worry about the liver? The liver tests showed normal

Ive had a pinched nerve for two weeks, it feels like knife being pushed between my spinal bone. At times it feels like my viens is being pulled out of my arm, the pain hurts. I’ve had my back cracked, and twisted. I’ve read that it can last for months, I can hardly sleep.

What can I do ?

i mean cures.
Well i got tingles all over my body and my hands sometimes go numb for a little bit. So i did some research on the net, and i think that there is a pinched nerve somewhere.

Nothing sciencfic though.

it is in my neck and then the doctor giving the test asked me if I was diabetic because of something he saw on the EMG, when I said what are you talking about he said "don’t worry I will talk to your primary doctor. What could it be???
Also . what do I do about a pinched nerve in my neck?

My mom says I have a pinched nerve around my right shoulder blade, it hurts like crazy to move my right arm or turn my head or move a lot at all. Everything my mom has tried hasn’t helped… It hurts! Any ideas?
@Rusty Bucket- Its 1 AM

I currently have a pinched nerve and it hurts REAL bad and am having my tonsils out next month. Just curious…

I have a pinched nerve in my neck that seems to be made worse by caffeine is this possible?

I am 34 weeks. I woke up last night to use the bathroom and couldnt even get up on my own from the pain. I can tell that its a pinched nerve. It hurts very badly and makes it hard to walk and get up and down and sometimes hurts to breathe. I have a doctors appt today, can I ask him for something like a muscle relaxer? Or is that not safe while pregnant? Any ideas how to fix this or get rid of the pain? Its like shooting zipping pains up my back.
