The pain gets worse when you make movements because they put more pressure on the nerve. Resting will help.

Oxycodone really? I've never taken it. They gave me vicodin HR and flexiril, while it didn't help the pain much it made driving pretty interesting...lol

you need to see a neruosurgeon for at least a consult... prolonged pinched nerves can lead to permanent nerve damage...
