About Nerve Injuries
There are many nerves traveling along the elbow, forearm, wrist, and hand. With injuries to the hand, wrist, forearm, or elbow, nerve damage can result. Symptoms may be mild such as mild numbness, tingling, or abnormal temperature feelings. In severe cases, muscle function and paralysis can occur.
Many nerve injuries occur because of overuse and chronic swelling. This doesn’t allow proper circulation to flow to the nerves, affecting their functioning. Poor posture while doing common activities generally causes overuse injuries and chronic swelling. If you have significant nerve sensations in your arm, wrist, or hand, it is important to follow up with us and your physician.
