Suggest Treatment For Pain Above Elbow Radiating To Wrist And Shoulder
I have been experiencing a vise like pain just above my left elbow radiating down to my wrist and hand or up to my shoulder and once into my neck. This started like a pinched nerve Tues evening waking me. It comes and goes in its severity, I seem to be experiencing no other symtoms.

Hello,
It seems like a pinched nerve is causing your issues. Ulnar nerve compression at the elbow may result in spreading of the symptoms above and below the compression site.
Getting evaluated medically and by tests (nerve conduction study in your case) are necessary for a correct diagnosis.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
