Pinched nerve: Your symptoms indicate that you do have something pressing on your nerve, please see your 1ry care physician or a neurologist ASAP. Feel better.

The short answer yes: You can start with a primary care physician who will refer you to the appropriate specialist if indicated. When a spinal nerve is pinched, regardless of the location, pain and numbness can travel along the entire length of the nerve's pathway. While there are several treatment options, the pressure on the nerve must be relieved to prevent permanent nerve damage.
