What Does Pain In The Forearm Indicate?

Yes, thank you. My wrist, actually my forearm started hurting yesterday, the pain has increased, it hurts to move arm, to use wrist to eat and turn hand in certain directions. When I press on forearm on either side it really hurts. It doesn t hurt to type very much, but I can feel it. I have not fallen or injured myself other than a fall in July where I fell back and caught myself with my hands, my wrist has been sensitive when i do pushups ...so I don t. Nothing like this pain until today.
