Detailed explanation-1: -If nerve compression lasts a long time, a protective barrier around the nerve may break down. Fluid may build up, which may cause: Swelling.
Detailed explanation-2: -A pinched nerve can become serious, causing chronic pain, or even lead to permanent nerve damage. Fluid and swelling can do irreversible damage to the nerves, so be sure to contact your provider if your symptoms worsen or don’t improve after several days.
Detailed explanation-3: -A pinched nerve occurs when too much pressure (compression) is applied to a nerve by surrounding tissues. In some cases, this tissue might be bone or cartilage, such as in the case of a herniated spinal disk that compresses a nerve root. In other cases, muscle or tendons may cause the condition.
Detailed explanation-4: -Nerve entrapment happens when a nerve is under repeated pressure for a long time. Eventually, the covering of the nerve starts to break down and fluid leaks into the nerve, causing swelling and inflammation.
