Ah yes, the typical "I'm a lazy parent, it will go away" excuse.
I don't know how seriously your mom takes you but you need to explain to her yourself, or have her come online and do some research about pinched nerves.
First off, they are no joke, and they don't go away by themselves for the most part. Let me cut and paste an excerpt from this page : http://www.ninds.nih.gov/health_and_medical/disorders/pinchednerve.htm
"The term pinched nerve describes one type of damage or injury to a nerve or set of nerves. The injury may result from compression, constriction, or stretching. Symptoms include numbness, "pins and needles" or burning sensations, and pain radiating outward from the injured area. One of the most common examples of a single compressed nerve is the feeling of having a foot or hand "fall asleep." Pinched nerves can sometimes lead to other conditions such as peripheral neuropathy, carpal tunnel syndrome, and tennis elbow. The extent of such injuries may vary from minor, temporary damage to a more permanent condition. Early diagnosis is important to prevent further damage or complications. Pinched nerve is a common cause of on-the-job injury."
My suggestion is to have your mom take a look at that, and take you to the ER, or if she's too busy watching her obviously more important sunday night TV dramas, have a relative take you instead.
