I have been dealing with a pinched nerve with severe shoulder discomfort/pain for a little over a year. I went to 2 different chiropractors which helped relieve the symptoms but i was always still in discomfort. Out of being desperate for something to work one night about 3 weeks as I could not sleep because of the pain, I came across this video. I now have ZERO pain or discomfort after doing the exercise (3 times a day)they demonstrate sitting down with the pole (I use a painters stick).

Love you guys! Retired OT here who specialized in upper extremity. Now, I'm having issues with UE of my own. Thank you "old" age! :( I'm really getting a lot out of your videos. Thanks, guys!

Thanks guys I am very appreciative of this video I have watched a lot of your videos recently and I also bought the book last week from your suggestion. My symptoms are improving greatly but I have not been supporting my arm during the day or night like mentioned so I will get on that right now actually. Have a super amazing night and week thank you for all your hard work sincerely appreciated

The tingling is driving me crazy! Like hot and cold water running down my arm. Going to try this every hour!!!!

Awesome Bob and Brad- I am doing everything shown in your video and YES, It DOES Help- Thank u so much

[@jeffcarpenter6306]

Thanks for sharing. I found your video at 2 am in the morning for the exercise with my arms and against the wall extensions. I had this pain for 4 days and at 2 am it got worst where I could not get up out of bed and felt nauseas. After doing your exercises with the chin, and arms I felt so much better to the point I could sleep a few hours. I then watched this video and will continue to do these steps until I get the nerve better. Again, I appreciate all the tips to making me well again. I am sure it has a lot to do that I work on a computer 9 hours a day.

[@teresaelizondo373]

So happy I found you. My Dr sent me to a physical therapist for my pinched nerve and she did everything wrong. She told me at some point that she didn't believe I actually had one. I feel she actually made things worse. Thank goodness I don't have to deal with her anymore. I feel this could have been taken care of months ago if she had only done what the Dr. said and treated me accordingly. Well, I'm going to try your treatment and pray that it works.

I want to tout chiropractic care also I’ve been doing all the things, PT and otherwise 3 adjustments and 3 traction table sessions later (1 week time of incredible pain w/o the needed narcotics) and my nerve released! I’m so thankful I cried, when I realized it. I was to point of not using my arm and almost passing out from pain in stores. Hadn’t worked in 2 days. It made full circle of modalities needed, complete. ❤️

I use a contour pillow. My neck is so bad when I wake up. I change out pillows but my pinched nerve is worst in the morning. Thank you for all of your help and great videos!!

[@_raymondlee]

I discovered this video over a week late after suffering the left shoulder and tricep pain, and it was likely due to a pinched nerve. The pain was debilitating. After watching this video, I did a few reps of neck stretching using the towel and neck bending toward the side of the pain exercises while enduring the pain for about two hours or so in the evening, I noticed improvements in the pain on the upper arm and shoulder the next day, though I am still feeling minor tingling in the elbow area, and the pain is now localized to the upper back-shoulder blade area. Thank you for sharing the exercises!

[@mechicanotv2751]

holy crap i got instant relief doing the towel exercises! i still feel a little numbness but ill definitely be doing these every hour

I just got a pinched nerve, and it's so annoying!

[@1970SMary]

thankyou so much guys. I have C4, 5 and 6 disc bulges and cervical spondylosis and have trapped a nerve in my neck area with pain going all the way down my arm and the pain is unbearable at times. I have tried the chin tucks along with a heat pad on the bad shoulder and it is helping. You are so informative and talk normal talk instead of technical jargon. I will be trying out the best sleep posture and have plenty of pillows to help. Keep up the excellent work.

Thanks B & B Some of those positions with the pillows shown is what i did intuitively re my arm & i did some other exercises too 2 days later feeling much improved as i had that issue in conjunction with a bruised elbow so yeah cause of the bruised elbow possible pinched nerve tight tendon it was very very uncomfortable to straighten my arm etc...

Had a difficult time getting out of bed last night due to right neck pain. After restless, intermittent sleep decided to check on KZbin for cervical nerve impingement.

I have found getting a deep tissue massage takes 95% of the pain away by the next day. It hurts during the massage and you'll be sore afterwards, but you'll sleep so much better and most of the pain will be gone the next day. This video is great and I'll implement all the suggestions to take away the rest of the lingering pain!

How does it feel noww?

[@erica557i]

@@FFFFF157 So actually I was wrong, it wasn't a pinched nerve exactly, it was carpal tunnel! This comment was before I made it out to see a doctor. The towel trick was good for temporary relief but what made the biggest difference was a wrist brace, icing it thoroughly, and a week long oral steroid treatment. Luckily I could still type/write with the brace on. When I took the bar at the end of July it was almost completely gone and now my hand is completely back to normal.
