Have Pain In Arm, Fore Arm And Elbow. Feeling Burning. Having Tingling And Numbness In Fingers. What To Do?

Hi I have pain in my right arm, it goes from my forearm to elbow and above the elbow into the upper arm, it feels like a burning pain when I straighten my arm or lift it up. I cant remember injuring myself I think I just woke up like that one morning about 10days ago. I have had some tingling and numbness in my right fingers which I can shake off.

Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
Age factor is very important in this type of disorders.
Only thing ,which ,you mentioned is pain in right hand above and below elbow .
May be due to cervical spondylitis ( due to pressure over nerves coming from neck and supplying to arm( right side in your case).
Cervical vertebrae pressess nerves due to diminishes space in between vertebrae so compression.
2nd reason may be thrombosis.
Diabetes , if any.
Peripheral neuropathy.
Consult a physician and get his opinion with M R I of skull and head.
Hope I have answered your question.
If further any question I will help.
Good luck.

Hi, thanks for writing to HCM. The description given suggests that you have neurological disturbance either in the brachial plexus or in the cervical spine which typically manifests as pain down the arm along with paresthesias.
Avoid using bulky pillow underneath the head and neck.
If you are concerned about the problem, visit your consulting doctor and follow his advice accordingly. Hope this helps
