What is the best treatment for pain from a pinched nerve in shoulder and right arm?

May not be nerve: Pain in shoulder/arm may not necessarily from pinched nerve---frozen shoulder, bursitis, arthritis, tendinitis all can cause significant pain... If it is bothering that much..Have it checked out by your doc, .

Location: First that depends on what nerve in "pinched" and what are your true symptoms. Are you having just pain or are you have problems with muscle control as well. The pinched nerve of your arm is often caused by a problem at the level of your neck and your symptoms just show up in your arm. I recommend you see an orthopedic surgeon for evaluation.

Many options: It certainly depends on the exact diagnosis and the nerve involved. Learn more about this topic here: http://www.Theshouldercenter.Com/suprascapular-nerve.Htm.
