Neck pain|elbow pain| extensor carpi radialis brevis
Neck pain secondary to C5, C6 nerve root irritation can cause pain and spasm in the extensor carpi radialis brevis muscle causing elbow pain.
This is one of the three muscles known as the wad of three and together with the triceps, causes the common condition known as tennis elbow.
It arises from the arm bone just above the elbow joint in the region called the outer (lateral) epicondyle and inserts into the base of the third knuckle (metacarpal) bone. It lifts the wrist and also deviates the hand away from the trunk.
