Hello, I have studied your case. Due to compression of spinal nerve root there are pins and needle sensation in your elbow and wrist, pain associated with it. I will advise you to MRI spine for better diagnosis. For these symptoms analgesic and neurotrophic medication like pregabalin can be started consulting your doctor.
