Which Tests Are Advisable For The Diagnosis Of Dorsal Scapular Nerve Entrapment?

I have been suffering for 2 months. Two months ago I went in to therapy to treat scapular dyskinesia but I ended up in pain and my therapist think I may have Dorsal Scapular Nerve Entrapment. Is there a specific test for this? Also, I was so frustrated I started to try to release triggers at the area on my body where I felt a pinch. I took my finger and pushed it into the back of my neck possibly c5, c6 or c7 and I felt a release and then something weird. I released and got scared. Is it possible I pushed my disc and ignited a pinch nerve because ever since then I have had nerve sensation on both sides of my neck and shoulder? I m hoping a second MRI will show this pinch will I be granted the opportunity to get a econd MRI or is there some other test to show what I did to myself. I regret it so much I have been in endless pain ever since.

Hello,

An Mri of the region can show direct nerve impingement if there is any. Secondly, a nerve conduction velocity test can be done.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
