Question : I have pain in my right forearm. it's actually located on the left-inner portion of my wrist to half-up my forearm.
It feels like someone is either pulling my tendons or nerves. My 3-year old grabbed me by arm and I yelped in pain...I felt bad for him. He thought he hurt me. I have PPO insurance, can you direct me to the specialist I will need to make an apt with? thanks.
