Pain moving from wrist to elbow?

Lady in Pink · #1 27-06-2007, 12:35

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!

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.

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.
