A doctor has provided 1 answer

Arm,hand pain: More description is needed in order to speculate whether the problem resides in the wrist(such as in carpal tunnel syndrome) or an inflammation in the elbow itself(as with tendonitis or epicondylitis). If there is associated numbness and tingling in the fingers, a wrist brace may be helpful. Advil or Aleve (naproxen) helps elbow inflammation It's best to consult an orthopedic surgeon for diagnosis and treat
