Dude, never been more happy to read bout your pinched nerve. Sorry for you though, get well soon but gosh, I don't feel alone anymore.
Multiple pinched nerves, bruises, sprained legs etc last year. Crash with the bike on black ice helped with the pinched shoulder nerve I drove around for months. That was fun I can tell you, I have a hardtail 😂.
I choose my left side btw, Germans need their right one, couldn't spread out the arm until lately. Now as soon as I lift my arm above the head I immediately feel shit. Nothing but a trillbillion ants. Makes putting wallpaper on the walls fun I can tell you.
I've had pinched nerves here and there. This one's special. You should be fucking elated! So much so, prior to this one, I don't think I could've physically understood everything you said. Read that like oh she gets it.
Sorry (Weak, it's the best I got on short notice) you're going through it, too.
Nerves that begin at the top of my skull are effecting the back of my hips and my right arm from the elbow down. Miserable.
Thumbs are the only way I can type right now. Really. I can't feel my index finger or control it or anything and my thumb is so weak I can't zip my own zippers. Put on shoes. I can't feel it which causes me to constantly put pressure on it like a reminder it's still there or something, I don't know, but when I do it hurts my elbow so bad.

I feel you! See the scar? Right elbow. Had a car accident and walked on crutches for a long time. Then I had the same symptoms you describe with my hand. Went to several doctors, 3 send me away saying I'm faking. Great! Made it to one and she send me to a neurologist who checked the nerves and lo and behold my nervus medianus and ulnaris were close to death. I couldn't grab anything at that point in time. Had an emergency surgery to save the nerves.
Lame. Doctors do that with Pura sometimes too. Frustrating. I hate having to speak up in the room. Often times it's like they diagnose her before they see her.
I'm bookmarking your comment. Gonna take it to the doc if between massage, chiro and physical therapy when coverage kicks in next month doesn't loosen it up.
I'll let you know if they think you're a psychopath.

You might wanna watch out putting pressure on it though. In my case, the nerves were squeezed for too long and there was a swelling in the canal, which then permanently pressed on it. Only noticed when the symptoms came. The canal was opened so that the nerves had room again. But by then it was relatively urgent. Good luck and watch out for yourself...and Pura. ✌️
