Question 6

i have a pinched nerve lower back right side, but an experiencing numbness in my cheeks when i touch it doesnt feel numb. what can this be? could it be a pinched nerve somewhere else? as ive been having back problems?

Accepted Answer

Needs evaluation: Lower back nerve compression (radiculopathy) results in radiating pain, numbness, and/ or weakness in the leg at the level of nerve involvement.  It would be unlikely to have buttock numbness with the usual disc issue.  Would contact your doctor to discuss your questions further, and design a physical therapy and exercise program.

Unusual: Pinched nerves are usually affected by motion or position but not usually by the act of eating per se.

Question 9

can a slipped disc in your neck cause a pinched nerve in your back? in your shoulder blade area?

Accepted Answer

No: One disc protrusion will not cause another, but the pain between the shoulder blades can well be referred from the protruded or ‘slipped’,disc you mentioned. Most frequent cervical problems are at C5-6, and this location may be the cause of your symptoms. 
See a pain doc for effective minimally invasive treatment. Good luck
