cervical radiculopathy (trapped nerve)

Anyone have cervical radiculopathy? The pain of this condition is brutal.
Apparently I had a “mild case”, as my pain only lasted just over a fortnight. There was nothing mild about it. The burning pain in my shoulder, down my arm and into my hand was off the scale. God help anyone who has to try and live with this for any longer. 24 days in my pain has all but gone; however I still have lots of pins and needles down my arm and into my hand intermittently, and constant numbness in a couple of fingers.
My question is, how long should I expect this to last? Have been attending physiotherapy, but there is very differing advice on this.

that sounds really tough. I know a friend who went through a similar nerve pain, and physio helped eliminate the long lasting pins and needles. It will heal, nerves do tend to take time, so hang in there. hope you see more improvement soon!
