Does Nerve Pain ever go away?
If you have experienced sharp shooting pain going down into your arms, mid back or legs when you are sitting at your desk or playing with your kids or when you go to bed at night,  it is possible that you might have a nerve pain. This is especially true if you have a pre-existing neck or back pain. If you are experiencing nerve pain, it can be a frustrating and uncomfortable experience and you may wonder if it will ever go away. In this blog, lets discuss if nerve pains ever go away.
 
Nerve pain can manifest as different sensations ranging from tingling, numbness, burning, heaviness, aching or a hypersensitivity to touch, etc. The type of sensation felt depends on which specific fibre of the nerve is being pinched or compressed. 
 
Watch this video to learn what is a nerve pain:

 
A common example nerve pain is Sciatica. When the sciatic nerve is pinched in the lumbar spine, it creates a nerve pain in the distribution of the sciatic nerve that can be felt anywhere from the bottom, down to the back of your legs (hamstrings) and back of the legs (calf) all the way into the feet and toes. 
 
Nerve pain can occur as a result of a herniated disc, stenosis, spinal arthritis, spinal fracture, infection or tumour that involves the nerves, or a brachial plexus injury that can cause nerve damage. 
 
A nerve pain can take anywhere from weeks or months to go away or it may persist for years. The duration of nerve pain depends on a number of factors, including how long has the nerve been pinched? Is it possible to cure or reverse the basic cause of the nerve pain? What is the degree of inflammation present in the nerves due to the pain? Some nerve pains are present due to pinching or compression of the nerves from bone spur due to spinal arthritis or disc bulges . These can be managed surgically and can give relief from nerve pain. 

Thus there is no definite answer of does a nerve pain ever go away. But there are many things you can do apart from medications to manage a nerve pain. HERE is a free guide on "How can you manage your nerve pain?" where you can get more information about what are nerve pains, how do you know if you are suffering from nerve pains, simple solutions to manage your nerve pain and much more.

MEET SWATI

 
Hi there! 
I am Swati, an Executive Mum Power Coach and a Certified Posture Expert. I use my proven system to help mums of younger kids working in high-stress executive jobs manage their back, neck, and nerve pains, despite low energy levels and brain fog. I do all this without taking away a big chunk of their time out of their already busy day. This enables them to be more productive and capable professionals at work and guilt-free mums who can focus on their kids instead of always being distracted by pain. 



My passion for helping executive mums stems from my own experiences. I have been in the same boat and understand the frustration and helplessness of being in constant pain or being afraid to engage in activities due to the fear of pain. After two pregnancies in the span of three years and juggling my two kids, housework, and a demanding job, I was constantly in pain. The weight gain from motherhood added extra stress to my already overburdened spine and joints. I was stuck in a vicious cycle of weight loss and spinal/nerve pain that I just couldn’t break free from.

On top of the physical pain, I also suffered from adrenal fatigue. I often felt exhausted, waking up groggy even after a full night’s (10 to 12 plus hours!) sleep, and struggled with low energy levels and brain fog. Simple tasks became challenging, and I found myself forgetting things and unable to think clearly. It was incredibly frustrating and made it even harder to balance my professional responsibilities and family life.

My work involved long hours of standing during the day, prolonged hours on the laptop in the evening, and lots of running around and rocking my kids to sleep in between. Despite my knowledge and expertise in pain relief, I still found myself unable to escape the constant daily pain and fatigue.

Sitting at a desk job from 9 to 5, or longer, plus endless meetings that seem to go on forever. The frequent traveling, the uncomfortable hotel pillows that make it impossible to get a good night’s sleep—I’ve experienced it all. I remember not being able to share my discomfort at work because I felt like an imposter, talking about pain relief strategies and focusing on work while I was not able to achieve it myself. I didn’t disclose the extent of my pain and forgetfulness to my colleagues for years. Even though I loved my kids and my job, I couldn’t give 100% to either. The discomfort held me back from reaching my full potential, making me feel guilty as a mum and less productive at work. I felt like I was constantly running on empty, unable to catch a break from the pain and exhaustion.

finally got fed up after years of trying and decided to make a New Year’s resolution to get ‘healthy’ instead of focusing solely on my pain, fatigue, forgetfulness, and weight loss. When I shifted my focus to getting healthier by reducing the inflammation in my body and addressing my adrenal fatigue, the pain started to decrease, my energy levels and focus improved, and the pounds started shedding off too! That, of course, meant a happier spine, nerves, joints, and a happier me! Today, my neck, back, and nerve pain are down to zero, my knee pain has reduced by 75%, my brain fog has reduced drastically and my energy levels are higher than ever. I realized that I had been focusing on the wrong solutions for over a decade!

Now, my mission is to share my knowledge of pain relief and managing adrenal fatigue along with my personal experience with other mums, especially those with younger kids who work in high-stress executive jobs. My goal is to help you find lasting relief, boost your energy, and reclaim your life, just as I did. 

If you can relate to all this, you are not alone. As a mum, I have been there and done that—momma, I got you! I’ve helped hundreds of mums in this situation over the years find their solution to manage spinal and joint pains, low energy levels, and brain fog that hold them back. This enables them to feel confidently in control and empowers them to cultivate that confidence and productivity at work and enjoy being with their kids, to be able to run around with them without the fear of injury or pain.

Are you ready for this journey? Ask me how if you are curious.

Let's DO THIS!
