A member asked:

The ulnar side of my rt forearm, little&ring fingers hurt a lot after writing half page, sometimes back of elbow & axilla & left forearm hurt. ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Nerve irritation : The ulnar nerve could be irritated for various reasons, like injury, overuse, inflammation. Usually anti-inflammatory medication helps and wearing a brace to assist rest and stability as well. If symptoms are persistent try to have it checked.
