A member asked:

Pretty sure i have pinched nerve on my left shoulder blade. what's the treatment/healin time? no pain, but numbness can i still lift weight?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See a neurologist: Given the numbness, see a neurologist for a full evaluation. If you are found to have a local cervical nerve branch compression, conservative measures include massage, heat therapy, physical therapy, injections, etc. Lifting weights before resolving the issue could make things worse. http://www.webmd.com/pain-management/guide/compressed-nerves
