Some symptoms are like a "dead" feeling in the arm or leg, lots of tingling and sometimes pain that can be moderate to severe.

A pinched nerve can cause feelings of radiating pain, weakness, numbness, and tingling down an extremity. Whether you experience these symptoms in your arms, back, or legs depends upon the nerve being pinched.

The symptoms of a pinched nerve are most often in the affected area of the body and may include: numbness, a feeling of pins and needles in the hand or foot, or a decrease in sensation in the affected area; a sharp or burning pain that radiates outward from the point of injury, muscle weakness and straining.

It depends on location. If in your neck, you could feel pain down your arm. If in your lower back, you might feel pain down your legs.
