Accepted Answer

Pinched nerve: Because patients having cardiac problems can have these symptoms, you should have this ruled out.  But the most common cause is an irritation of a nerve in the neck by a bone spur or herniation that can cause pain or numbness that runs down the arm into the hand.  An MRI can usually show the cause of the problem if it does not resolve.  Thank you for the question.

Question 5

month old lower forearm and elbow pain when bent , burning, crepitus when straightened and pain resting. pinky numbness when bent. diagnosed with golfers elbow. strap caused nerve pain down arm and hand. is there nerve involvement? naproxen sucks

Accepted Answer

Golfer's elbow is: tendinitis of the muscles that attach to the medial side of the humerus at the elbow.  The ulnar nerve passes just behind, so if you are having numbness of the pinky finger, you are having symptoms of compression of that nerve. Nerve pain going down the arm can be from the tendinitis itself but also that the strap may be too tight.  Resting the activity that caused the injury is important.

Question 6

left arm elbow pain hand goes numb at times?

Accepted Answer

Cubital tunnel: If arm pain is inside part of elbow and numbness is in ring and little fingers you could have irritation of ulnar nerve at elbow. Other causes could be tendinitis of elbow for pain and possible carpal tunnel of hand for numbness. Seeing a doctor could help pinpoint diagnosis.

Question 7

elbow pain when leaning on it and bending my elbow and my arm and hand feel numb, i also have hypermobility?

Accepted Answer

Tendon vs nerve: You could have a combination of epicondylitis versus cubital tunnel or combo.  If small finger going numb it indicates ulnar nerve.  If thumb thru ring finger going numb could be carpal tunnel and unassociated with elbow.  If symptoms continue based on age would advise checking thyroid panel or fasting blood glucose for other sources of neural irritation.

Question 8

stabbing pain in the upper part of my right arm. along with pain in elbow and occasionally numbness in my pinky finger. what could be causing this?

Accepted Answer

Radiculopathy: Pain that radiates down the arm can reflect a cervical radiculopathy (shooting pains due to a pinched nerve in the cervical spine).  Symptoms going to the small finger would suggest involvement of the C8 nerve.  These conditions typically resolve with time and conservative treatment.  It would be reasonable to watch it for a week or two, and use NSAIDs if needed, before seeing a physician.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

Maybe: Have your doctor order an EMG/NCV study, and this will pinpoint the precise nerve and location if done correctly.
