Travelling pain hand and forearm

Clearly there was some irritation to the nerve. There is cat scratch fever but without other more common symptoms this would be a fairly unlikely cause of distal nerve inflammation. Either way, most of this will likely clear up on its own over a matter of weeks to a few months.

For acupuncture you should refer to someone locally who is a fully licensed acupuncturist and not attempt treatment yourself - consider it a learning experience for you as well as a better option for your wife.

Outside of acupuncture any one of the variety of Chinese herbal oils or pain plasters are often helpful in speeding up the bodies ability to heal - that along with light, somewhat frequent, massage in the area so long as that doesn&#39t appear to further irritate the nerves - just enough to encourage better blood circulation through the area. If it does, forgo the massage and just use the oils. Acupressure on SI 3 may help to clear the channel.
