Hi,
Yes, all your symptoms can be caused by compression of cervical nerves at,C4, C5 and C5-6 levels as area of elbows, forearms and wrist as well as of hands are supplied by the roots of these nerves as well as by adjoining C3-4 and C6-7 nerve roots.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
