Most of the time people who think they have "pinched nerves" are actually just having a muscle spasm. Looking up home remedies for this usually yields:
NSAIDs
Muscle Relaxer
Ice until the inflammation goes down(1-2 days) and then heat after that coupled with light stretching.
Rest

Prevention:
Loosen/Warm up and stretch the shite out of what your prone to having spasm.

2 epidurals worked for my wife but go to a well recommended doc ( things can go wrong - Big long needles stuck in your neck). I also have them and they go away in half a day w neck rolling exercises , 30 shoulder rolls and then 30 more 5 minutes later. Shoulder roll method more effective in a hot shower. You tube for proper shoulder roll technique. Certain weight lifting exercises set mine off (pulling down) so avoid those machines.

I had that once ... it was horrible. Got a PA friend to call in some Skelaxin and it eased up subsantially pretty quickly. Probably took a couple of days to completely go away -- it was 10 or so years ago so I don't remember that great.
