Hello Anon

Thank you for writing.

Your husband may have nerve pain or carpal tunnel syndrome. Is it going on in one arm or both?

Hello again

A pinched nerve is often very painful but there could be some kind of nerve damage. It could also be carpal tunnel syndrome - tingling, pain and numbness are common symptoms.
His best bet is to have this arm seen to so a proper diagnosis can be made.
Best,
Susan
