1). Cervical Radiculopathy: Treating a Pinched Nerve in the Neck By : Gary Cordingley, MD, PhD
Let's suppose that you have been diagnosed as having a pinched nerve in your neck, also known as cervical radiculopathy. If so, you probably have pain in the neck and one shoulder. The pain might radiate into your arm and you might have weakness or numbness in the arm as well. Moving your neck in certain positions probably worsens the pain.
If you're a younger adult, the pinch could be due to a herniated (slipped) disc.
