Cures for a pinched nerve?

At times, I've had really good luck with a tens unit.
Good luck, brother!!!

Scott,
TENS is awesome as the tingling fools the nerve to stop hurting.
Only thing that sucks about it is that it is so temporary.

I had a TENS and didn't really pay attention to the Dr. when he gave me directions.
Went home and started using it.
Day by day, I found myself cranking it up a notch.
Eventually, I went back to the Dr. and told him the darn thing didn't work very well any longer.
Turns out I got numb to it and had it at a level that should have had me jumping, yet I got use to it. They took it away from me.
