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.

2). Thigh on Fire: Lateral Femoral Cutaneous Neuropathy By : Gary Cordingley, MD, PhD
At the age of 32 Sigmund Freud developed a new problem. Pricking and other unpleasant sensations had overtaken the skin on the outer side of his right thigh. Walking made his symptoms worse. The affected skin was exquisitely sensitive to touch and even the usual rubbing of his underclothes irritated the area.
Seven years later in 1895, when Freud wrote up his self-observations for a German medical journal, the abnormal sensations were still present, but had migrated.
