The more common nerve conditions leading to forearm pain are associated with trauma or compression. The nerves of the arms originate from the cervical vertebra (neck vertebrae). If there is compression at this level then it can cause arm pain. However, compression can occur anywhere along the course of the nerve. Once such condition causes stretching and compression of the ulnar nerve at the elbow and this is known as cubital tunnel syndrome. When there is entrapment at the level of the wrist then it is known as carpal tunnel syndrome but this is more likely to cause hand symptoms.
