What Causes Nerve Pain In Arm And Back Pain

I have some sort of nerve pain in my right arm. It hurts the most when its touched especially when touched softly. I also have lower back pain around the kidney area. Both paincould be described and lightning pain. But, these are not always felt. All my life Ive menstruated every 2 or 3 months. Never on time. I am 20 years old.

Hi,

The location and movement of pain give clues as to what is going on. And sensitivity to touch, lightning-like feeling are indications of a nerve being the cause. This can be from sick nerves or injured nerves and if it is one then it is usually a local injury. The elbow has a prominence that the nerve gets hit between it and most everything else (funny bone). There can be arm pain from a problem beginning in the neck.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Matt Wachsman, Addiction Medicine Specialist
