Radial Nerve Damage - Radial Nerve Injury

Symptoms & Signs

What are the signs and symptoms of the injury?

Symptoms of a radial nerve injury depend on where the nerve injury occurs, but may include:

numbness or tingling of the skin on the back of the arm, forearm, and hand

pain in the same areas as the numbness or tingling

muscle weakness, which usually affects the ability to straighten the elbow, wrist, and fingers

muscle shrinkage or wasting, which takes a long time to develop

deformities in the hand or forearm, usually due to muscle wasting

Symptoms may also result from the injury that caused the nerve damage.
