A member asked:

Random shooting pain in left forearm,no tingling,no other symtom.shooting pain happens at random multiple times a day. what could be the cause?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

?PINCHED NERVE: Possible nerve compressions at elbow, such as pronator syndrome. posterior interrosseus syndrome, or cubital tunnel. A neurological consultation could identify cause, and an EMG test could confirm. Other thoughts might involve referred joint pain, and this could be assessed at time of consult
