Pain That Travels Up the Arm
The numbness in the fingers is sometimes accompanied by pain that travels up from the fingers to the arm. Along with the pain, a person may experience a burning sensation in the arm. This is a common symptom when the cause of the numbness is a condition such as ulnar nerve entrapment or carpal tunnel syndrome.
Arm pain may be the result of repetitive motion. Doing the same movement repeatedly puts a lot of pressure on the muscles, ligaments and tendons in the arm or hand. This may lead to tendonitis, or inflammation in the tendons, resulting in pain and discomfort.
