A member asked:

How long to recover from pinched nerves?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

75% are better : Between 2 -12 weeks with only 10% needing surgery when due to a disc herniation. Treatment includes guided exercise, activity modification, medication for symptom relief and possibly epidural steroid injections.
