Anyone ever have a pinched nerve and/or pain that travels from legs to arms?
My dad supposedly has a pinched nerve but now the pain has traveled down his leg from his hip and up to his harm...he's in a lot of pain. He went the doctor and a neurologist who said he needs an MRI and prescribed meds...anyone ever have anything like this? I'm worried sick

DH had something similar happen after a car accident. He kept getting tingling in his right arm and fingers. The doctor said it was because of the pinched nerves in his back. He was given prescription meds and saw a chiropracter. After a while the pain ceased.
Good luck to your dad. I hope his pain stops soon!

i had one a few days ago... it was EXCRUTIATING pain!! it went from my neck down my arm and down my back... i couldnt even move or sit down without setting it off... it took about 4 days for the pain to completely go away... this also happened on a Sunday, so no doctors were open and i was also too much of a wuss to go to the ER>>>

I have had it- and both of my parents have... it's incredibly uncomfortable and i think a lot of the tests they do around it are just precautionary-- I wouldn't worry.

yes ...due to several auto accidents i have this as a cronic condition. It really s*cks! Mine is caused by disc herniations pressing on the sciatic and other nerves. My daughter is just now under going testing for the same pain as your dad is going thru. She has to have an MRI of her brain after going thru the electro nerve testing with needles.I worry for her she is too young for this I hope they find the source and her gets relief soon

oh my goodness i am so sorry you all have gone through this, but at least i'm relieved that his situations sounds a lot like what you're describing and it's not something more serious like a stroke or heart attack
i guess we'll see what happens. doctor said he might get a shot it his back next week
thanks for the response ladies

I have the same thing. It's very painful and can be debilitating, but it's nothing to be alarmed or worried about.
Look up danielleandscott's post on sciatica. Alot of us have experienced this and there is a lot they can do, exercises, drugs, chiropractic, accupuncture, etc etc.
If you need any Dr. recs I can pass them on

Re: Anyone ever have a pinched nerve and/or pain that travels from legs to arms?
Unfortunately I can relate.
IU have some pinched nerves and pain as well as bulging disks in my neck. The only thing that seems to work is physical/chiropractic therapy. I get some heat therapy and massage therapy. I also take muscle relaxers...but only sometimes and when I am at home cause it can put me to and Naporoxen for inflammation.
Good Luck.
