Sounds like you should talk to your Dr. If you mean the 15th of this month, that has not been that long, although I am not a Dr.
I hope you get to feeling better!

If your nerves were compressed for a very long time then you need to give them time to heal....


Spine-health.Com/topics/anat/a04.html

healing from a pinched nerve
the nerve consists of one long cell from the low back or neck down to the foot or hand, so the nerves tend to heal slowly. The nerves heal from the top down, and depending on how much damage is done at the time the nerve becomes impinged (pinched), it may take weeks to months for the nerve to fully to heal.


Treatment of neural impingement is directed at relieving the pain and then allowing the nerve to heal on its own. Nerves need both inflammation and pressure to be painful, so either relieving the inflammation or the pressure can relieve the pain.
