As humans, we have nerves extending from our brains throughout the rest of our body. Our nerves transmit signals to our limbs, organs, and every other part of our anatomy to tell it what to do. They also transmit feelings back to the brain, such as pain or pleasure. With a pinched nerve (also known as nerve compression), patients may feel pain radiating from the afflicted area. The pain may be sharp and make it difficult to move that part of the body without inflicting more discomfort.
