What Causes Tingling Sensation In Right Arm And Hand?
Question: Last night my right arm and hand started tingling. Today it is still bothering me. Also about halfway up the inside of my right forearm it is painful. I can press on it and it doesn't hurt or look swollen but when I move my arm it hurts.
Brief Answer:
Can be due to tennis elbow.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The pain in the arm radiating down the forearm is likely to be related to ulnar nerve compression or inflammation. Most commonly it is caused by a tennis elbow or cubital tunnel syndrome.
You can help the improvement by-
1. Give adequate rest to the arm.
2. Apply cold therapy.
3. Get some anti-inflammatory medication prescribed from your orthopedician.
4. Immobilize the arm for a short period.
5. Soft tissue therapy can be used to break down adhesions that may be restricting the nerve.
6. Neural stretching exercises are helpful under the care of a physiotherapist.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
