I pinched a nerve between my left shoulder blade and my neck last night, how I did it I don't really know...was messing with the guitar for a bit then 2 hours later it started. I took some Advil and went to bed, decided to tough it out today at work, took some Advil this morning and the pains still there. Oddly though, I'm getting some shooting pains through my left arm, and I figure that can't be good. Any ideas if that's normal?

I am not sure if it is normal - the massaging could help. If you do apply heat, you are smart to apply ice for 20 minutes or so after it - don't want to expand the muscles/relax them too much w/out telling them to contract again.
I pinched the nerve in my back thursday night on my motorcycle - could barely walk until sat around noon - it finally cleared up on its own - but i would suggest trying to do what you can - it will pass though.... =)
take care....

i suppose that a pinched muscle might be felt in just one spot. I have a pinched nerve in my cut down again, and that i believe it the entire approach right down to my left ankle and right down to my correct knee. if the suffering appears to be travelling right down to different components or the frame i might say the nerve is pinched. ibprofen is an anti-inflamatory that reduces the infection within the discipline of the pinched nerve, however it's going to handiest do such a lot. i ought to take round 800mg of ibprofen to even believe love it's any bigger, whilst it is performing up. well success, i am hoping i used to be of a few support.

yes. Try some deep heat and get someone to give you a massage.
