Pain after localization

Pain on the outside of the right forearm is primarily caused by three muscle groups that are responsible for the movement of the hand and elbow. These are the long extensor muscles of the wrist and fingers, and the flexor muscles of the elbow. These muscle groups run along the outside of the forearm and, when overstrained, can cause discomfort that can be increased during certain movements such as rotation of the wrist or forearm, flexion of the fingers, and extension of the elbow.

Overloading of the outside forearm muscles occurs in right-handed people mostly in the right arm and is favored, for example, by static holding work, as occurs when carrying heavy weights such as crates or filled buckets and cans. In addition, incorrect posture at the computer keyboard can cause pain on the outside of the forearm. If the position of the keyboard is set too high compared to the height of the body, the wrists bend and as a result, the keyboard is unnaturally cramped, which puts strain on the wrist extensors.

When cycling, a similar unphysiological and unnatural position of the wrists can occur. The saddle position must be adjusted here if necessary. Pain radiating from the outer side of the elbow into the forearm can indicate a so-called tennis elbowPain on the inner side of the right forearm is often caused by three other muscle groups The finger flexor muscles, the wrist flexor muscles and the reversible muscles of the forearm, also called rotators.

Tense finger flexion muscles hurt especially when stretching the fingers. Overstressing this muscle group is usually the result of a long-held clamp handle, as is often used when carrying heavy suitcases or bags, doing housework or during long and strenuous work with the computer mouse. The wrist flexor muscles are primarily strained during static holding work, such as that performed on dumbbells and bars in the gym with bicepscurls.

Wearing heavy weights and working with flexed wrists also puts strain on the wrist flexors. Overstrained muscles hurt when stretching the wrist. The rotators of the forearm are used for rotational movements.

This includes working with screwdriving, and turning on threads or taps. Tense rotators hurt when turning the forearm. If the inside of the forearm hurts when the thumb is stretched, a so-called cell phone or SMS thumb could be the cause.

The long thumb extensor muscle is used when typing on the keyboard or touch screen and can be overloaded if the cell phone is used excessively. Right-handed people who do a lot of work with their stronger hand will have more frequent complaints on the right side. Pain on the upper side of the forearm is usually caused by the muscle groups that were treated in the outside/outside section.

Tennis elbow is a chronic inflammatory condition of the insertion of the forearm muscles at the epicondylus lateralis humeri, the lateral humerus, which is located a few centimeters outside above the elbow. In the case of the golfer’s elbow, the site of the inflammation is the epicondylus medialis humeri, the middle humerus a few centimeters above the elbow on the inside.In both diseases, there is sometimes severe pressure pain in the affected region, often radiating into the forearm, which can be intensified by activating the forearm muscles, for example, to close or open the fist. It is assumed that overloading of the forearm muscles, as occurs for example during the incorrect practice of stroke sports (tennis, golf) and when using computers or carving tools, is responsible for the development of the diseases. and
