Question:
I have pain that shoots from my elbow to my wrist.

What is it and what should I do about it?

Answer:

There are several possible explanations that come to mind for your elbow-to-wrist pain. However, it is impossible for us to know the exact cause of your pain without an in-person examination.

We recommend that you make an appointment with your primary care provider at home or at University Health Services.
