do know from what i learned from bulging a disk in my back that was pressing on a nerve, once the numbness becomes pretty constant you need to get it fixed sooner rather than later....longer the nerve is cut off the longer it takes to get back right and if it is cut off for to long you may never get it back.....our bodies are pretty much under the rule of "use it or lose it" and if you pinch a nerve and not allow it to be used it basically dies after awhile....
