I have rheumatoid arthritis.
Before you read further, if you want a truly "anti-inflammatory" diet, you need to ditch animal proteins.
My wife is a doctor at Mayo Clinic and recommended I go on Dr. Mcdougall's program (it's free - 100% free) He has been an internal medicine doctor for 40 years.
https://www.drmcdougall.com/misc/2014nl/may/tencases.htmAt the bottom there is an 'elimination diet'
Essentially, you eat steamed brown rice/sweet potatoes/aspargus for ten days. Only using Table Salt. At the end of ten days, your intestines should be clear of toxins as well as your bloodstream and you should feel better. A full list of foods you can eat are at the bottom of the newletter...
If inflammation is the cause for this pinched nerve, this WILL help - dramatically.
The least you can do is try it for ten days. If it doesn't help, then you know it is not due to inflammation around the nerve.If it does work, then you can look at the rest of his diet. (all free, like I said).
Basically, I'm a vegan who doesn't eat oils or wheat. 'starchavore'.
I'm not skin and bones either^

You can also check out this video series by Dr. Campbell (the china study) - the world's largest blood-test study of disease. Which essentially showed that the poor counties in China that only ate rice had ZERO diseases and the rich counties (which ate meat) had a many diseases.
