The Median Nerve extends along the middle of the arm and forearm to the hand. It arises by two roots, one from the lateral and one from the medial cord of the brachial plexus; these embrace the lower part of the axillary artery, uniting either in front of or lateral to that vessel.
What are the symptoms of median nerve injuries?
- Difficulty or even inability to turn the hand over or flex the wrist down.
- Tingling or numbness in the forearm, thumb and the three adjacent fingers.
- Weakness with gripping and inability to move the thumb across the palm.
Where is median nerve pain?
The median nerve is usually damaged at either the elbow, due to a fracture of the humerus bone of the upper arm, or the wrist, due to either carpal tunnel syndrome or a wrist laceration or gashing. If the median nerve is damaged at the elbow region, it is known as a proximal injury to the median nerve.
