The trouble with nerve irritation is that it's likely more than one muscle playing off against each other to trap the nerve, and if you don't work them in the correct combination, it won't help, and it can even increase the muscle imbalances and the pressure on the nerve.
And, many of the neck and upper chest muscles (which can press on nerves feeding the arms and shoulders) take a lot of delicacy to work them without *directly* bruising nerves, which you don't want to do that, obviously.
I really think you should try to find a good neuromusculoskeletal practitioner.
Is the numbness constant or intermittent? How severe? Are there positions you can put yourself in that relieves it? What about changing your sleeping position?
