[@Angelopagnotti]

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).

I like this two pro physical therapy guys they are smart, humble, humorous and kindly

[@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.

[@_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!

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.

This video is great and I'll implement all the suggestions to take away the rest of the lingering pain!

@@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.
