A few moments ago, I met with some of the leading business executives in the country. And it was a sober meeting, because these companies and the workers they employ are going through times more trying than any that we've seen in a long, long while.
There's no compelling evidence that a pinched nerve is more likely to affect athletes in one sport more than in another. However, because the condition often involves overuse and repetitive movements, racquet sports, track and field, gymnastics, and weight lifting are activities that set the stage for pinched nerves.
A pinched nerve can occur at several sites in your body. A herniated disk in your lower spine, for example, may put pressure on a nerve root, causing pain that radiates down the back of your leg. Likewise, a pinched nerve in your wrist can lead to pain and numbness in your hand and fingers (carpal tunnel syndrome). With rest and other conservative treatments, most people recover from a pinched nerve within a few days or weeks.
