What can I do for a pinched nerve?


Question:
I was diagnosed six weeks ago with a pinched nerve in my neck on the left side. I have tingling down my left arm quite frequently. My doctor gave me muscle relaxers and suggested neck exercises, along with heat and massage. Nothing has helped. It is very irriating, not to mention painful. Could I have been misdiagnosed? If not is there anything else that I could do?

Answers:
I would go to a chiropracter, they work wonders and you probably just need to be adjusted to take the pressure off of the nerve. I went to a chiropracter when I hurt my back and they really help
