Let us try to help: Compression neuropathy, is a medical condition caused by direct pressure on a single nerve. It is known colloquially as a trapped nerve, though this may also refer to nerve root compression (by a herniated disc, carpel tunnel ). Its symptoms include pain, tingling, numbness, and muscle weakness which in turn effect weak strength of the muscles. Good luck, thank you.
