A member asked:

Does a pinched nerve feel like stinging pain?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

nerve pain: Be relaxed, as the burning, stinging searing pain is sign of minimally impaired nerve, which is still alive and signaling need for intervention. If pain spontaneously dissipates, might be sign of worsening of nerve function.
