So sunday night i think i might have pinched a nerve while sleeping. My neck has hurt for two days and when looking to my left i have limited peripheral. It happened once before and the doc said it just goes away with time. I was wondering if there is anything that can help it mildly. Like heat or ice or anything along the home remedy lines. I really don't want to have my neck hurt for two weeks like last time.

Go to another doc and have them prescribe a steroid. That will take down any inflamation and relieve the pressure on your nerve if it is still pinched.

A good Chiropractor can fix that ASAP.
A "Bad" Chiropractor though, will make you come back several times over a short period for minute adjustments, and then bill you for all of those visits.

Chiropractor FTW...but as Jupiter mentioned, find a GOOD one...like any medical profession, there are good ones, and quacks...
