For the past few days, ive had this pain in the right side of my neck, close to my shoulder blade and pain in the right side of my head, temple area. the pain is sharp and sometimes burning. could this be a pinched nerve? how do i treat it?

The allopathic medical providers base therapy on more comprehensive information like was there injury, could you have shingles e.t.c. and examination to tell you what may be the cause of your situation. There is not enough to say if you have a pinched nerve so try a more comprehensive evaluation for appropriate management. You may also see if a massage of the area would help in the meantime.
