depends on how and where the nerve has got trapped

Had mine for just over a year and it's only just started getting better

Get her to the A+E and they'll refer her to a physio straight off

had mine going on for 2yrs now.....had an op last yr to remove part of the disc to ease the trapping but its made it worse
did enjoy the 5 months of work tho tho looking at more surgery later in the yr to remove bone now.....all because the raf docs couldnt be arsed to chase up my case with the surgeon when things got bad

Pain in the arse................litteraly. Mine goes up the back of my leg and to my butt. eases of if i keep busy but if i sit for too long its a right pain. as u say dr is useless and give u pain killers and a exercise sheet.

Yep, bitchin , caused me to end up in hospital due to it sending organs into spasm making me think i had kidney stones

Get a chiropractor or sports physio and keep going and doing the excersises.

Yes,go to chiro but in the meantime keep taking ibroprufen tablets.This reduces the inflamation around the nerve and also releives some of the pain.
