Specializes in Pain Management

Forearm pain : While a blood vessel clot or ischemia is a possibility, conditions relating to the nerves, muscles, tendons and ligaments are more likley to cause pain in the forearm. A nerve entrapment is a possibility. A physical examination by a doctor is needed to make a diagnosis.
