Pinched nerve? I head to my chiropractor. Usually 1 visit and I am good. I bailed on a medical doctor, neurologist, and a orthopedic surgeon. All 3 had different ideas how to treat my bulging disc and I never had it operated on but am in no pain 90% of the time. I had a sciatic nerve pinch in my right leg for a year that prescription Ibuprofen wouldn't touch. That's when I went to my chiropractor. I fell out of a semi trailer flat on my *** and jammed everything up. That was 40 years ago. So far so good.
