The location of the Herpes lesions will determine the nerve involvement.
If the pain or numbness is on the "inside" of the arm and hand (the "pinkie" finger side), then it is ulnar in origin. If the symptoms appear on the "outside" of the hand and arm (the thumb side) then the nerve involved is the radial.

What type of nevers are found in the arm and hand?
There are three main nerves found in the arm and hand: the ulnar nerve, median nerve, and radial nerve. The ulnar nerve supplies sensation to the pinky and part of the ring finger, the median nerve supplies sensation to the thumb, index, middle, and half of the ring finger, and the radial nerve supplies sensation to the back of the hand and thumb.
What nerve causes tingling in the right forearm and hand?
Tingling in the right forearm and hand is often caused by irritation or compression of the median nerve, which runs down the arm and into the hand. This condition can be linked to carpal tunnel syndrome, where the median nerve is compressed at the wrist. Other potential causes include ulnar nerve compression or cervical radiculopathy, where nerve roots in the neck are affected. It's important to consult a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
Why is the hand enlarged or swollen on the affected side after mastectomy?
Loss of lymph nodes from surgery on the affected side often causes poor drainage from the arm on that side. This is why there can be hand and arm swelling.
What is the largest nerve in the right arm?
The largest nerve in the right arm is the radial nerve. It branches from the brachial plexus and runs down the arm, providing motor and sensory functions to the posterior aspect of the arm and forearm. The radial nerve is crucial for extending the elbow, wrist, and fingers, as well as for sensory perception in the skin of the hand.
Function of radial nerve?
The radial nerve supplies the muscles of the arm and forearm and and is also the sensory nerve for the upper limb. It therefore helps in the movement of the upper limb and is also partly responsible for sensory feeling in part of the arm, forearm and hand.

Where is the radial median and ulna nerve is found in the?
The radial, median, and ulnar nerves are found in the upper limb. The radial nerve runs along the posterior aspect of the arm and forearm, innervating the extensor muscles. The median nerve travels down the arm, passing through the cubital fossa and into the forearm, where it innervates flexor muscles and provides sensation to parts of the hand. The ulnar nerve runs along the medial side of the arm and forearm, passing behind the medial epicondyle of the humerus before supplying the intrinsic muscles of the hand.
