How Can Pain From The Arm To The Wrist Be Treated?
My mom is 80 yrs young, her left arm radiates pain in the lower wrist area to her neck. She had X-ray and dr said it didn’t show anything. She’s Anemic and her hemoglobin Is at 8.3 dr sent for blood test to see if marrow might be bleeding- is there anything we can do to help with this pain? Also if it is bone marrow would that cause such pain? Please and Thank you

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
The symptoms seem to be related to a pinched nerve.
Some suggestions about the treatment are:
-use nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as aspirin, ibuprofen, or naproxen may reduce swelling.
-use ice packs to relief the pain
-rest
-use a splint to avoid other damages
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
