Pain, Numbness, And Tingling In Arm, Elbow, Fingertips. Taking Motrin, Tramadol, Naproxen. What Is It?
Two days ago I started having pain in my right arm from my elbow to my finger tips . I also have numbness and tingling and I cannot grip anything with my hand . I can barely feel my thumb but it hurts so much. It also feels cold all the time and that causes to ache worse and I have to soak it in warm water. My joints are still as well. I have been taking motrin, tramadol and naproxen. The pain has become almost unbearable and I have a high tolerance tor pain. I can t even imagine what it would be.

Hi:
thank you for your question
your symptoms seems typical of nerve irritation symptoms which oud be coming from your neck ( traped nerve in cervical spine)
or it might be having traped nerve in somewhere in your
you need further investigations to find out where is the pain coming from and then treat accordingely.
for now continue on the analgesia you are using already and book appointment with spinal/ orthopaedic surgeon
