Guest guest Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 Hello, A couple of months ago, I hurt myself while trying to do an asana without warming up. While standing I went into a deep backbend that seems to have pinched a nerve in my neck/shoulder region. It does hurt a lot at times, does anyone have any recommendations of what might help?

Guest guest Posted December 5, 2009 Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 Doctor visit? I once chipped a vertebrae lifting weights and the loose piece was pressing on a nerve. Fascinating experience.... If you have damaged the nerve, it may hurt for awhile. If you are placing direct pressure on it through the movement of some skeletal structure, you may be continuing to cause damage. If it's just musculoskeletal, the doc could rule out the more lasting concerns.
