Subject: Coming back after pinched nerve?
Has anyone dealt with a cervical pinched nerve and had decreased strength? How long was the recovery? Did it get better on its own or did you do PT?

About a month ago I started with major nerve pain in my right arm and was diagnosed with a pinched nerve in my neck. (somewhere between C5-C7)

The pain has finally started to subside but I still have decreased strength in that arm; probably at 50-75%. I am 100% swimming right now and my pull is still really weak on that side. What kind of timeline should I expect? I am trying to remain patient but it is so challenging! I am trying to qualify for Master's Nationals so you can imagine an injury is frustrating.

Any help is appreciated!

I have a pinched nerve in my neck at C6 which is causing a burning pain in the upper shoulder and down the triceps of my right arm. I worry about training and doing long-term nerve damage.
