I woke up about 3am w/ a bad pain in my wrist that prevented me from going back to sleep... slowly this pain has now moved up my arm and is about at my elbow...
Naturally my arm is still sore from my wrist on up... but the severe pain is located in my elbow.
What could it be?
I first though blood clot... but i'm barely 23!
Answer:
Sounds like a pinched nerve. If you're really worried about it, consult your doctor. Otherwise, take it easy until it goes away. Good luck.
Go to Doctor dear may be its not serious but advise is impotent.
could be carpal tunnel, i get that sometimes because i detasseled corn one summer when i was about 18 and i'm only 21 now. that would be my most reasonable answer but other than that, i don't know what to tell ya
First, press all fingers tips for 2 minutes of the affected hand. Second, first stand straight, keep your hand fist closed ( thumb finger will be inside) and straight the hand (without bending) move the wrist upwards %26 downwards, clockwise %26 anticlockwise for 5 + 5 minutes. There will be no pain at all.
What part of your wrist?If it is near the thumb, you could have injury of the radial nerve. If it is near the pinky (smallest finger), you could have injury of the ulnar nerve. Either could cause the pain to go up to the elbow. At times, it could even reach the shoulder.Have you just undergone an injection. An improperly administered intramuscular injection could cause this. If a cast has been applied too tightly, the radial nerve may also be injured.It may also be caused by carpal tunnel syndrome.It is best to consult a nerve doctor, neurologist - a physician who specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of disorders in the neuromuscular system.
This condition can be relieved and/or aleviated with acupuncture and Chinese therapeutic massage (tui na). I would suggest consulting an acupuncturist, particularly one certified in both acupuncture and Chinese herbology. Acupuncture is the most effective modality for treating pain and related conditions.You can find a certified acupuncturist in your local area by going to the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM) website - http://www.nccaom.org/find.htm
