I have had a pinched,nerve in my neck for almost 3 weeks,now. Been,to chiropractor and pain management. Still waiting for approval to get MRI. Have numbness in shoulder and fingers and the pain is getting worse. Would it be worth my time to go to ER or should I just wait EMG and MRI

Hi,

This may be a result of peripheral neuropathy. Take loading dose of vitamin B12 and visit a neurologist who will evaluate and investigate. An MRI might be needed.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
