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.
