Who to contact for forearm pain

Sometimes it happens in life that pain prevents you from thinking about anything but it. Forearm pain can vary. It can suddenly seize you at the moment of a sudden movement, it can tighten one side of the body for a long time, it can ache constantly, it can prevent you from sleeping. Whatever it is, there is always a reason for pain. And the question is how to get rid of it.

Many people advise going to the doctor, and they are right. But, if you “caught it” at night, and for the ambulance – not everything is so bad? What if at the moment there is no one to leave the child with? And there are a lot of these “ifs”. And the problem needs to be solved now, because any pain interferes with a normal life. In such cases, people search for information on the Internet.

Causes of pain in the forearm

• Injury to the wrist, elbow, or forearm muscles can cause pain in the forearm. These injuries can be open or closed. In case of serious injuries, namely: bruises, subcutaneous muscle tears, fractures of the bones of the forearm, the formation of subfascial hematomas is likely, which can compress blood vessels and nerve endings. During such an action, consequences are possible: disruption of the functional activity of the hand, which does not exclude loss of skin sensitivity.
• As for subcutaneous ruptures of muscles and tendons, this is a rare occurrence. In the case of partial and absolute injuries, partial pain in the forearm, hematoma, and problematic movements of the hand and fingers cannot be excluded.
• Overstrain or overload of the forearm muscles, for example, lifting too heavy a load, physical activity, sudden movement can provoke pain in the forearm, sometimes leading to a degenerative process. Type of pain: aching. If you clench your hand into a fist, the pain in the forearm intensifies. When the wrist joint moves, the pain can be acute.
• Purulent tendovaginitis is the consequences of felon or phlegmon of the hand. Symptoms: increased temperature of the whole body, local swelling, skin hyperemia, since purulent tissue melts emit pus. In addition, in addition to limitations, complete dysfunction of the fingers is likely, and the pain in the forearm is sharp and sharp.
• As a result of thickening of the transverse ligament and narrowing of the carpal tunnel, pain occurs in the forearm. In medicine, this disease is called carpal tunnel syndrome, which leads to compression of the median nerve, blood vessels of the hand and flexor tendons.
• Professional activities (carpenters, grinders, ironers, etc.) can cause certain diseases: myositis. At the same time, the pain in the forearm is unbearable, even burning. Right-handed people usually have pain in their left forearm, while left-handed people have pain in their right forearm.
• Reflex neurodystrophic and neurovascular syndrome. With this diagnosis, a person suffers from aching pain that affects not only the forearm, but spreads to the back of the head, neck, shoulder and hand.
• Scalenus and pectalgic syndrome can cause pain in the forearm. In human language, this is explained as disturbances of a reflex and muscular-tonic nature in the pectoral muscles. Plus, the subclavian artery and brachial plexus are compressed.
• Pleskopathy occurs as a result of trauma, tumor formation, or radiation treatment.
• The compressed median nerve in the pronator teres area causes sharp pain in the forearm.

There are actually many more causes and diseases that provoke burning, sharp, sharp, aching pain in the forearm, and each of them has its own consequences and symptoms.

Symptoms of pain in the forearm

Pain in the forearm can have various causes, and therefore a variety of symptoms.

There is a whole group of inflammatory processes and tendon lesions, the causative agents of which are tendonitis and tendinosis. If the pathology passes to the ligament and surrounding membrane, tenosynovitis develops. Pain appears in the forearm and the functions of the upper limbs are impaired. As a rule, tendonitis and tendinosis are a simultaneous disease, since the factors for their occurrence are identical, as are the methods of treatment.

When the tendon becomes inflamed, there is a risk of possible rupture. The inflammatory process is characterized by the following symptoms:

• there is pain when moving,
• passive movements may not cause pain in the forearm,
• if you touch the affected area, there is pain,
• elevated local temperature,
• redness of the skin and even swelling in the painful area,
• “crunching” in the joints during movement.

Diffuse fasciitis is one of the types of inflammatory process. Its characteristic features are that in this situation the connective membrane of the forearm muscles is affected. Symptoms of this disease:

• nagging pain in the forearm,
• weakness of contractions in the hand and fingers,
• skin changes resembling cellulite with small indurations.

Joint dislocations have the following symptoms:

• pain in the forearm, shoulder, wrist, elbow, hand,
• external changes: a “bump” in the joint area and a depression nearby, swelling,
• movements of the affected arm and forearm are limited, often even impossible.

A stress fracture is a result of physical exertion. Typically this diagnosis occurs in athletes.

Fractures caused by trauma have the following symptoms:

• increasing pain in the forearm, which radiates to neighboring parts of the body (arm, back) during movements,
• swelling and swelling at the affected point,
• subcutaneous hemorrhages,
• abnormal hand position
• impaired mobility, including limited movement,
• there may be a “crunch” of a broken bone,
• if the fracture is open, then bone fragments can be seen,
• An open fracture is characterized by bleeding and traumatic shock.

Fractures in the elbow joint are most often caused by falling on the elbow or sudden contraction of the triceps. The presence of a fracture in this area can be determined by the following symptoms:

• swelling and deformation in the affected cavity,
• blue, purple tint,
• when straightened, the arm hangs down,
• it is impossible to move the arm as soon as one attempt causes severe piercing pain,
• inability to straighten the forearm independently in the event of a displaced fracture.

Arthritis is another form of inflammatory process, which is defined by the following symptoms:

• stiffness and pain in the forearm,
• the shape of the joint changes,
• restriction of movements of the affected limb,
• skin redness
• unusual “crunch” during exercise.

Osteoarthritis is a disease formed on the basis of the destruction of cartilage tissue on the surfaces of the joint.

Symptoms at the initial stage of development of osteoarthritis:

• periodic pain in the forearm that occurs after intense physical activity,
• pain at night.

The clinical form of osteoarthritis has other symptoms:

• limited movements of the limb, more severe difficulties are typical in the morning,
• “crunch”.

Pain in the muscles of the forearm

It is logical that if muscles specifically hurt, then this is muscle damage. Now let’s look at what kind of defeats there are:

• Myositis. Was discussed a little higher.
• Physical overexertion is the most common phenomenon. In this case, pain occurs in the forearm, and throughout the entire arm. If you do not stop physical activity, the pain spreads throughout the entire arm area, including the hand. As a result of chronic overexertion, dystrophic processes are possible.
• Crick. In this case, the muscles may have a swollen appearance, and of course, accompanied by pain, especially when palpated. Rarely, but still happens, swelling and increased size of the forearm.
• Tears in the muscles of the forearm. Pain in the forearm has to do not only with the muscle itself, but also with its tendon. If the gap is large enough, then the possibility of detachment of the muscle from the tendon cannot be ruled out. The pain is incredibly sharp and strong. When a muscle is torn, there are modifications: large swelling at the site of injury, hematoma. If a hematoma forms, the forearm is hot to the touch. Extreme consequences include irreparable destruction of nerve fibers and muscle tissue, which results in the inability to bend or straighten the hand and fingers.

Aching pain in the forearm

It is possible that aching pain in the forearm may be a clinical form of disease associated with neurology, vertebrology, or related to metabolic, immune, neuroreflex and neurovascular disorders, and so on.

Venous thrombosis is a disease caused by blockage of the veins, which denies natural blood flow. In addition, the walls of blood vessels and surrounding tissues become inflamed. The pain in this case can be different: aching, convulsive, strong, sharp, sharp, dull, dull, moderate. The danger of such a diagnosis is that the blood clot can separate from the vessel wall and travel with the bloodstream to the heart, lungs or brain.

Reflex neurodystrophic and neurovascular syndromes.

Lupus erythematosus, which has symptoms:

• severe fatigue,
• progressive skin rash
• joint pain,
• damage to the kidneys, heart, lungs, blood,
• weight loss,
• excessive hair loss,
• inflamed lymph nodes,
• cutaneous vasculitis,
• anemia,
• swollen feet and palms.

Severe pain in the forearm

The only thing worse than pain is constant, severe pain in the forearm, which not only hinders movement, but even paralyzes. What diseases can cause severe pain in the forearm?

• Gout. Surely, many have heard that due to the high presence of uric acid in the blood plasma, salts are deposited on the surface of the joints. But few people know about the incredibly burning and severe pain, the root of which is in the joints of the big toe and extends all the way to the forearm. The consequences include polyarthritis.
• Plexitis is an inflammatory process of the brachial nerve plexus. The most common cause is injury. In severe cases, tissue nutritional disorders occur that affect the upper limbs. This disease has two stages of development: paralytic and neuralgic. The first degree is caused by muscle paralysis. The second is spontaneous pain in the shoulder joint.
• Hernia. Its peculiarity is that the pain is reflected in the forearm, and not in the cervical and thoracic spine, despite the fact that the core of the disease is located there. At the same time, the forearm does not change its appearance, there are no obstacles during movements. The pain caused by this disease can get a person out of bed at night.

Muscle pain in the forearm

Muscle pain in the forearm is most often explained by physical activity, but diseases cannot be excluded: tenosynovitis, crepitant tenosynovitis, tunnel syndrome, scalenus syndrome, and so on.

• Crepitant tendovaginitis is another name for paratenonitis of the forearm. At the moment of movement, pain is felt in the affected area, crepitus. Inflammatory development is acute. There is a possibility that the disease may become chronic.
• Tunnel syndrome. In this case, the pain originates in the hands; most often, its onset begins in the right hand. The reason for this consequence may be monotonous work. This diagnosis is mainly characteristic of people who work at a computer. In addition, factors causing this disease include:
• pregnancy,
• arthritis,
• hypothyroidism,
• obesity,
• diabetes,
• systematic, identical hand movements,
• wrist injuries,
• bone outgrowths,
• smoking.
• Scalenus syndrome or anterior scalene muscle syndrome consists of the presence of spasm, compaction and even thickening of the affected muscle.

Aching pain in right forearm

This kind of pain in the forearm (both right and left) can be due to various reasons:

• colds (muscle “breaking” at fever),
• capsulitis is inflammation of the joint membrane. The danger of capsulitis is that the patient may find himself in a state of long-term disability. As a rule, this disease does not affect persons under 50 years of age. But, nevertheless, cases have been recorded when younger people – up to 40 years old – were among the patients. The peculiarity of capsulitis is that the pain in the forearm can be not only aching, but also severe. A characteristic symptom of capsulitis is limited movement of the arm, especially inward. As for the causes of the disease, the consequences can be caused by injury or appear spontaneously,
• aching pain in the forearm “for the weather” is characterized by glenohumeral periarthritis or joint injuries that were not fully cured. What causes glenohumeral periarthritis and its symptoms?
  • First of all, the reasons include injuries: dislocation, blow to the shoulder, unusual load on the shoulder, and so on;
  • degenerative development inside the spine, leading to dysfunction of the trophism around the articular tissues;
  • diseases that affect reflex processes in relation to the shoulder joint, for example, myocardial infarction.

Nagging pain in the forearm

It often occurs in people who have resorted to treatment with anticoagulants designed to inhibit blood clotting. During this process, sudden hemorrhage in the muscles of the forearm is possible. Pain in the forearm in this case can be aching and pulling. In addition, the forearm increases in size and hematomas occur. With all this, the presence of injury is not necessary.

Also, if the shoulder and forearm are “pulled”, it is quite possible that there was an overload on the shoulder, caused by heaviness or sudden movements.

Sharp pain in the forearm

This also includes types of diseases that were considered with symptoms of acute pain. Also, severe sharp pain in the forearm may indicate the presence of the following diseases:

• cervical osteochondrosis – in simple words, it sounds something like this: if we consider the spine as the main motor system, then, like any mechanism, it needs a lubricant that softens the friction process exerted, in this case, on the intervertebral discs. At the moment of movement, these disks come into contact with each other, and in the absence of a lubricating film, the disks wear out and sag, which causes sharp pain in the forearm. Cervical osteochondrosis is a lack of natural lubrication;
• capsulitis;
• bursitis – the name comes from the word “bursa” – periarticular bursa. It is in it that fluid accumulates, which has a softening effect on the joint during movement. Inflammation of this bursa is called bursitis. In addition to the fact that during the development of the disease there is a sharp pain in the forearm, there may also be mechanical changes: swelling, redness of the skin, increased temperature in the local sense, limited movements.

Aching pain in left forearm

The left side of the body is loaded with vital organs such as the heart, left kidney and ureter, spleen, pancreas, part of the stomach, etc. Aching pain in the left forearm may be completely unrelated to muscle and bone diseases. The possibility of having problems related to heart disease cannot be ruled out. If we are really talking about the heart, then in this case the pain in the forearm flows into the arm, including the hand. The pain in this case has a somewhat numbing character, the effect of a resting hand. In such a situation, a person cannot sleep or lie on his left side for a long time, as the hand begins to go numb and ache.

Pain in the left forearm can have another meaning:

• inflammation of the tendons of the left shoulder,
• biceps tendinitis,
• bursitis,
• deposition of calcium salts,
• trauma,
• tumors,
• glenohumeral periarthrosis,
• impigment syndrome,
• calcification of the forearm,
• arthrosis and arthritis.

Pain in the forearm and elbow

It often happens that pain in the forearm also affects the elbow; on the contrary, a pinched nerve or an inflamed joint in the elbow can radiate to the forearm and even to the neck. It’s like with a toothache: one tooth hurts, but the pain zone affects the entire jaw. So, let’s look at the causes of pain:

• affected articular cartilage and bones: arthritis, arthrosis, chondocalcinosis, synovial chondromatosis, injuries of the elbow joint, osteophytes of the elbow joint, tumors of the elbow joint, gout;
• affected musculo-ligamentous apparatus, which also includes diseases such as bursitis and epicondylitis of the elbow joint, tendinitis, diffuse fasciitis, cubital tunnel syndrome;
• problems associated with the nervous and cardiovascular system that provoke pain in the forearm, elbow and neck: ulnar nerve neuritis, myocardial infarction, Charcot neurotrophic arthropathy, hemophilia, osteochondrosis and intervertebral hernias.

Above, we looked at the variants of diseases that may cause pain in the forearm and elbow. But, in addition to this, there are mechanical impacts, which in everyday life are called injuries: dislocation, fracture, sprain, tear, rupture, and so on.

When the elbow joint is fractured, the pain is acute. The cause of such pain is not only a broken joint, but also damaged nerves, blood vessels, and tissues that were affected by bone fragments. And, as you yourself understand, in the case of an affected nerve, pain can even lead a person to loss of consciousness. In addition to pain symptoms, a fracture of the elbow joint can be determined by the unnatural crunching of bones in the damaged area. And also hand movements become limited, sometimes impossible. External changes are also present: joint deformation; bruising resulting from damage to blood vessels.

Pain in the forearm and elbow joint caused by Volkmann’s ischemic contracture is one of the most dangerous, as the factor of its origin is an acute disruption of arterial blood flow in the arm due to damage or compression of blood vessels by swelling.

Symptoms of Volkmann’s ischemic contracture: pale skin on the arm, the limb becomes cold, impaired skin sensitivity, weak (or absent) pulse, swollen fingers.

As a result of rupture of the tendons of the elbow joint, pain in the forearm affects the entire arm, as in this case, as a rule, the main mechanical force is directed to the biceps or biceps brachii muscle. The fact that the tendons are torn from the muscles cannot be ruled out.

Acute pain in the forearm, but more often in the elbow, may indicate the formation of osteophytes – pathological growths on the plane of cartilage and bone tissue. Possible reasons for the diagnosis are: improper calcium metabolism or deforming loads.

Chondromatosis is explained as a bone or cartilage growth inside a joint. As a result of this action, the bone and joint are deformed, and the affected limb is shortened. The inflammatory process, which is an integral phenomenon of this disease, increases pain in the forearm and elbow. As for the clinical situation, the following symptoms are inherent here: pain at the moment of bending and straightening the elbow, swelling, tight movements of the joint, formation of contractures, hypertrophy around the articular muscles.

Aching pain in the forearm or elbow may be due to the presence of a tumor. General malaise of malignant processes is characterized by weakness, fatigue, elevated body temperature, lack of appetite, and weight loss. As for the pain itself, at the initial stage of development of the disease it does not attract much attention. But over time, the pain acquires an obsessive, aching character, even at night. The more progressive the disease becomes, the more intense the pain. And, most importantly, it is impossible to eliminate pain with painkillers.

Epicondylitis (inflammation of the ligaments of the elbow joint) causes pain in the forearm and elbow due to stress on the arm, that is, in a calm state the pain does not bother you. Signs of this disease include the following phenomena: no disturbance in hand movements, no external changes, pain occurs when palpating the joint.

Neurology identifies a condition that can cause pain in the forearm and elbow known as cubital tunnel syndrome, a pinched nerve in the cubital tunnel. This disease does not appear “out of nowhere”; the factors of its formation are microtraumas of the articular bones or genetic predisposition. In addition to cubital tunnel syndrome, neurology includes neuritis – inflammation of the ulnar nerve.

Hemophilia is one of the provocateurs of pain in the forearm and elbow, as it is characterized by frequent hemorrhages in the joint areas, including the elbow joint. If we talk about the causative agent of the disease, then this is a genetic predisposition related to the abnormal process of blood clotting. Hemophilia makes itself felt in childhood, when the body is most susceptible to injury.

Pain in left forearm

Pain in the forearm on the left side may indicate the presence of any of the above diseases. Plus, pain and pain are different; accordingly, it is necessary to distinguish between types and forms of pain. If the pain syndrome covers the area from the shoulder to the elbow, then often this phenomenon may indicate a myocardial infarction. The pain in this case can be severe, or maybe numb. The source of the pain itself is located in the chest, but often radiates to the left side of the body, neck and even stomach. The disease manifests itself as pallor, heaviness in the chest, shortness of breath, dizziness, and loss of consciousness.

If the symptoms are as follows: nasty pain in the forearm, in the left shoulder and under the left shoulder blade; on the left side of the neck – may signal not diseases associated with the spine, but with the heart. The option of myositis cannot be excluded. In the case of myositis, steam rooms and massages are dangerous things.

Pain in left forearm

There are times when pain in the forearm seems to come out of nowhere. In particular, a person is at a loss when the pain affects the left area of ​​the forearm and the rest of the arm. He begins to think about possible injuries or an uncomfortable position of the body during sleep, which, by the way, is not excluded.

When the left arm hurts and even aches so much that it is difficult to lift it, it indicates probable chronic tendovaginitis. Tenosynovitis often has an infectious onset, for example, a cut on the hand.

In the case of a pinched nerve, the pain in the forearm is so severe that the person cannot hold a small piece of bread. Particularly popular in treatment are: ointment with heparin and Karavaev balm.

Pain in right forearm

There are many tips on how to eliminate forearm pain, regardless of whether it is right or left. But, frankly, listening to them is extremely dangerous, since for one disease it is recommended to use physiotherapy, massages, water treatments, steam baths, and for another diagnosis this method of treatment is contraindicated. Therefore, before engaging in treatment, you should consult a doctor, and after the diagnosis has been established, resort to treatment methods.

Above, we have already looked at the names of diseases that can cause pain in the forearm, pain in the left forearm. Some of them (arthritis, arthrosis, gout, rheumatism, polyarthritis, capsulitis, bursitis, pinched nerve, hemophilia, and so on) can cause pain in the right forearm, shoulder and elbow joint of the right hand.

Shoulder and forearm pain

What can cause pain in the forearm and shoulder? As a rule, we ourselves are to blame for the presence of such problems, since lack of concern for our health in the future promises us problems with joints, bones, pinched nerves, overstrained muscles, and so on. How exactly can lifestyle influence possible forearm and shoulder pain in the future?

Firstly, sedentary activity, incorrect body position during sleep (even an uncomfortable mattress; an open window near the bed – a draft), incorrect posture, the same type of movements or a monotonous position – affect the condition of the musculoskeletal system;

Secondly, hypothermia (hardening without special training, diving into cold water, clothing out of season) – the likelihood of cold nerve endings and muscles;

Thirdly, those who want to have an ideal body sometimes pursue their goal with excessive fanaticism, which leads to stretched or torn muscles, as well as injuries to joints and bones. As for people whose work requires them to lift heavy objects (loaders), do not forget to read safety precautions and labor protection. In any case, the maximum volumes that can be lifted by a person without the use of lifting equipment should be indicated there. But, be that as it may, health is more important than work.

But there are things that are beyond our control, such as a hereditary predisposition to a certain disease (arthritis, hemophilia) or an accidental household injury (dislocation, fracture).

Acute pain in the forearm

One of the most unpleasant, even painful sensations is acute pain in the forearm, which is explained by the following diseases:

• arthritis, including rheumatoid arthritis,
• arthrosis,
• tendinitis,
• neuritis of the brachial nerve.

Let’s take a closer look. So arthritis can cause hellish pain in the forearm and deformation of the diseased joint. This disease can appear at any age, even in children. Causes of arthritis:

• Infections of various kinds, for example, tuberculosis, acute respiratory viral infections, acute respiratory infections, influenza, colds, STDs and so on. Staphylococcus aureus and streptococcus are the main causative agents of arthritis;
• Mechanical effects on the shoulder and forearm, such as surgical intervention specifically in the joint, injuries;
• Genetic predisposition to joint diseases. But it is impossible to say for sure that arthritis is an absolutely hereditary disease. But, if there were people with arthritis in the family, then it is better to undergo an examination for preventive purposes;
• Weak immunity, smoking, hypothermia, increased body weight.

Osteoarthritis usually affects older people. As for the symptoms, acute pain in the forearm cannot be excluded even with the slightest movements, which worsens with loads on the shoulder or arm. In addition, the patient’s hand becomes almost motionless, especially when raised. Arthrosis doesn’t just appear. For its formation, reasons are needed, for example rheumatoid arthritis or psoriasis. Metabolic disorders in the joint can cause arthrosis.

Tendinitis and tendinosis were discussed above.

Brachial nerve neuritis. In this case, patients confuse pain in the forearm with joint pain in the same area, although in fact, the joint may not be affected at all. Here the pain sensations are similar to toothache, as the inflammatory process of the nerve itself occurs. The danger of this disease is that neuritis of the brachial nerve can lead to peripheral paralysis, as a result of which the arm hangs lifelessly.

Diagnosis of forearm pain

Diagnosis of pain depends on the nature of the disease. If, for example, a person fell on his outstretched arm, then there is no point in looking for an answer using an ECG, or, conversely, if there are no injuries, it is stupid to look for a fracture. But, in any case, if there is pain in the forearm, then there is the very reason for its occurrence.

When visiting a doctor, first of all, they feel the pain area: forearm, shoulder, elbow, neck, and so on. This is done mainly in order to exclude diseases that require radical treatments – surgery, for example: tumors, intervertebral hernias, osteomyelitis, meningitis, epidural abscess, retropharyngeal abscess, thrombosis and much more.

In some cases, diagnosis is difficult because some diseases are difficult to determine, for example, glenohumeral periarthropathy, mainly associated with damage to the soft periarticular tissues. Humeral periarthropathy has several types:

• rotator cuff tendinitis. In this case, the pain in the forearm is diffuse, accompanied by a limited lateral plane of the shoulder. When the shoulder is raised, the pain intensifies;
• Subacromial bursitis is analyzed based on pain symptoms as follows: slight pain when raising the arm above the head;
• biceps tendonitis. Pain in the forearm and shoulder is associated with tendon disease;
• arthritis;
• adhesive capsulitis, let’s say, is the final outcome of diseases related to pathologies of the glenohumeral tissues or to neurology, namely, regarding the shoulder joint. Here the pain in the forearm is very strong, sharp and sharp.

An accurate diagnosis cannot be achieved by mere palpation. These days, medical examinations are accompanied by X-rays, ultrasounds, MRIs or other computer devices. A blood test also helps determine the presence of infection, metastasis (for cancer), lack of vitamins and beneficial microelements (calcium). The most important thing is not to rush to conclusions, since the same symptoms can have completely different causes.

Treatment of forearm pain

Before talking about how to treat pain in the forearm, I would like to remind you which doctors are competent in this matter: –

• orthopedist – congenital diseases; diseases associated with the musculoskeletal system;
• traumatologist – a doctor who treats everything from sprains to severe injuries and open fractures;
• a surgeon is a generalist who specializes in various fields, from gynecology to heart disease;
• A rheumatologist is a specialist of a narrow scope, or more precisely, in the field of connective tissues and joints. Also specializes in rheumatic heart defects;
• vertebrologist – treats diseases of the spine;
• neurologist – here it is clear that the doctor solves problems of a neurological nature;
• osteopath – relates to a number of diagnoses:
  • diseases of the spine and joints,
  • diseases of the ENT organs,
  • neurological diseases,
  • diseases of the internal organs (digestive system, diseases of which can also cause pain in the forearm),
  • children’s, male and female diseases,
  • results of injuries,
  • pregnancy and childbirth.
• oncologist – treats cancer of any complexity,
• cardiologist – eliminates problems related to the heart.

The pain itself can be eliminated with painkillers, but it is impossible to solve the problem in this way. So, how to eradicate the exact cause of pain? Initially, you should make sure of the diagnosis, after which treatment occurs:

Injury to the wrist and elbow joint

Treating yourself is not something that is not recommended, but is strictly prohibited.
