9. What Is the Outlook for a Pinched Nerve?
A pinched nerve can be painful and uncomfortable, but it's usually treatable with rest, medication, physical therapy and time. Most people recover fully, however, it's also common for a pinched nerve issue that has improved to return in the future.
For those who undergo surgery for a pinched nerve, a complete recovery of strength, motion and activity usually occurs in three to four months. Most people are able to resume day-to-day activities, such as driving or desk work, within a few days or weeks.
