re: Pinched nerve in my upper back

It feels like a crick in my neck. I said upper back but sort of between my spine and trap. I have no idea how I hurt it

Go to a doctor and do PT for this

Yeah man, I'd check it out to be safe. I had hip tightness I decided to 'work through' that left me with sciatica, PT, and limited mobility last year. If it's anywhere close to the spine or a joint get it checked out. Wish I would have gotten mine checked out before the muscle got so inflamed that I couldn't move. Best case it's just some inflammation and getting it checked out is a nothing burger. Worst case you don't get it checked out and a spinal nerve gets pinched and you have a longer pause than you'd like and experience pain and weakness that I don't wish on anyone. Get it checked out. It could be nothing, or could be a warning sign that it's about to be something major. Don't just ignore something in a joint or near the spine.

I'm not sure what to tell you to do about it, but definitely take it seriously and understand it's likely an upper spinal issue, regardless of where it hurts. Also, sustained numbness is bad - can lead to permanent nerve damage.
