Why Having Constant Twitching In Right Wrist To Elbow Along With Numbness And Shoulder Pain?

My right wrist from my pinky almost all of the way down to my elbow has been twitching constantly for a few days now. I have always had shoulder pain and numbness in this hand...but why is it twitching so? Its very annoying and I was wondering what will make it stop.

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi you have twitching in your (R) pinky all the way down to your elbow.you also had numbness in this hand and shoulder pain. In my opinion , you have pressure on the nerve supplying this area ( C7 T1) ,which may be arising from your neck ( Disc prolapse) of from your shoulder ( Thoracic outlet syndrome). I suggest pain killers, Shoulder elevation and Neck Strengthening Exercises for 10 days and if there is no relief then go for MRI neck.
