      Out of honest curiosity, is “twisted a nerve” a real diagnosis and a meaningful one, or is it just a colorful way to say you fucked something up in your shoulder?

      I’ve had something that my Dr and the physical therapists called a “pinched nerve” but I understand that basically means “we don’t know but assume it’s something to do with a nerve because we think we can rule out all the stuff we understand better”.

        A pinched nerve is a real diagnosis, in that you generally know what happened. But unless there are other red flag symptoms you don’t look for the actual cause, because it’s really difficult and it only takes two to three days to recover. Usually a symbol of underdeveloped muscles in your back.
