Adrian,
I have a lot of these too- first thing I check and usually find is a
medial elbow fixation/subluxation. Test for that is thumb and little
finger together and patient tries to hold together. Usually they
can't make the adjustment and retest -usually goes strong if you
fixed it.
Next check for cervical discs and finally check the actual wrist for
carpels.
Nutritionally check for B6 for pain.
Sometimes there is an anterior T-1 which can cause most of this.
Hope this helps
