5. When You Should See a Doctor
Many people with pinched nerves feel better after using at-home treatments and with time. However, if symptoms last for several days or don't respond to self-care measures, visiting a doctor for further evaluation and guidance may be required.
Although it's uncommon, a pinched nerve can lead to chronic pain and permanent nerve damage. It's important to seek medical attention right away if symptoms are accompanied by the sudden onset of numbness, weakness, paralysis or a loss of bladder or bowel control.5‘Pinched Nerve.’ Stanford Children’s Health - Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital Stanford, www.stanfordchildrens.org/en/topic/default?id=pinched-nerve-134-11.
