 [ Symptoms ] can a fall cause ulnar nerve pain from the shoulder to the hand  i am a 64 year old female i fell 3 weeks ago landing on my right knee and both hands mainly on the right i am having gradually increasing pain in my right shoulder along my arm through the elbow and into my hand along the outer edge into the pinky and ring finger [ Disease ] ouch oh i am so sorry you are going through this the symptoms you are describing do sound like ulnar nerve pain particularly the pain to the pinky finger that is kind of a hallmark the fact the pain is increasing not decreasing over the course of three weeks means it is time for a trip to the doctor despite the manner in which you fell it is possible you broke a bone in your arm or suffered a soft tissue injury to an elbow tendon or ligament the reason to get a physical examination and maybe an x ray is to get treated earlier when the prognosis is better rather than later when the prognosis is worse while this is not an emergency you definitely deserve to be seen by your primary care provider to diagnose what is going on and make sure you do not have any hidden fractures either in your arms or your legs i wish you all the best with this
