Pinched nerve in my upper back

It's causing numbness in my left arm and two of my fingers. If I squeeze my shoulders back, the numbness immediately stops. How serious is this? Do I need to stop anything? Visit a doctor? I've been running Garage Gym Warrior for a few weeks and I'm squatting 3 times a week. This gives me no pain or numbness.

Back and nerve is something I don't mess with, have seen too many end up being something you can't just push through as additional damage is incurred.

if you have radiculopathy into your arm, it is either coming from your cervical spine or somewhere in the arm. the fact that you can squeeze you shoulder blades together and eliminate symptoms means it's possibly postural related. go to a PT. the fact that you can eliminate the symptoms with one simple movement means this is possibly fixable with PT. if the PT can't help, they'll send you the doctor.

Get it checked out by a reputable chiropractor first (not a drop in $20/visit type place). They know bones and may save you thousands.

I'm in the same boat. If I completely straighten my neck then within a few seconds my left arm starts going numb. As long as I keep my head a little forward then it stops.
I believe I'm headed for PT. I've laid off lifting for 5 months now and it's not gotten any better.

Doc called me today, i have a broad based disc bulge at C5-C6-C7. Having injections Friday and start PT next week. Guess I'm heading to the commercial gym for machine exercises. Might as well become a gym bro.
