Anyone ever had a pinched nerve?

A doctors appointment is going to have to wait until Thursday as I am going out of town.

Two days ago I was reaching for something on a tall shelf at work, and I heard this really loud pop in my elbow - at the same time, I had the feeling as if I had hit my "funny bone" in my elbow, except times 10. The pain lasted for a few seconds, but it was excruciating.

Fast foreword to this morning, I woke up and my arm from my elbow down was numb. After a few minutes, it was back to normal. Now, whenever I move my arm very quickly, or extend it all the way out, the feeling from two days ago comes back......It's a shooting pain from my elbow to my thumb.

I'm pretty sure it's a pinched nerve, anyone ever had one? What did your doctor do to fix it? Will I have to AMPUTATE?!?!?!/ :shocked: :p
