Wife is dealing with a bad one right now. Compressed disc in her neck is pinching a nerve that runs down the length of her arm right to her wrist. Arm "burns" and tingles and feels like it's progressively going numb. She sees a pain doctor next week but for the past week she's been on all sorts of tramadol, etc to manage the pain and it's just making her cranky (because it isn't stopping the pain) and loopy (because it's fucking her up).

Depends on the cause of the pinched nerve, where the discs are etc etc etc...imo the drugs don't really do much because you eventually get used to em...I've had back issues over the years because of a degenerative disc situation and all BS aside the best treatment I had for my situation was using some chinese magnet thingies an old boss of mine gave me years ago...
