Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I understand your concern.

You say that you have been having nerve pain in your body, mainly in your forearms caused by your job. There are few more things I need to stop here and ask :
- what type of job your are doing ? (I want to know if it has to do with high intensity physical activity
- have you visited any doctor so far?
- do you have a personal history of arthritis?
- you say you have sometimes stomach upset: do you skip meals? do you eat healthy? smoke? drink alcohol?

First, we should determine if the pain is really from your nerves or arthritis (muscular skeletal).

Next, if confirmed from nerves, neurological examination, blood electrolytes and complete blood count recommended further to determine the right diagnosis.

For the moment, apart the additional information I want to review, I would advise to:
- eat healthy
- take vit.B complex supplement
- increase fluids intake

All the best.
