Recently diagnosed with pinched nerve and given 20mg prednisone for 12 days. one week later slight pain and tingling/numbness in hand/arm. more meds?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pinched nerve: You should have a follow up dr visit . Many times the pinching of a nerve produces variable symptoms and if they persist after 12 days of prednisone , you need further evaluation and probable testing
