What Causes Pain In Lower Right Forearm Radiating To Elbow And Wrist?

Iam and 18 year old female and I have been having dull pain in my lower right forearm for the past couple days now. At times, the pain radiates from my elbow to the middle of my forearm and sometimes it radiates down to my wrist. It also feels weak and almost feels asleep. What could this be and do you think I should seek medical attention fast?

Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement,  's  Response
I studied your case and I think there is chances of ulnar nerve compression at the elbow. It can be sub luxatable ulnar nerve. It causes such sensation in the forearm and wrist. To confirm this diagnosis we need to get it examined by neuro surgeon and also needs to get a EMG/NCV testing.
I would also recommend you to apply a elbow support. Also You should use hot water fomentation, and physiotherapy will also help.
I would also suggest you to take Pregabalin and Methylcobal tablet daily. If there is any other question, you can ask directly on this link.http://bit.ly/orthonaveen
