Sciatica is quite similar, pain radiates along the entire fibre.

A pinched nerve as it exits the cervical vertebra generally at the foramen and/or UV joint (could be disc degeneration or arthritis effects but the nerve is pinched) will radiate pain into the hands with the same feeling as cyclist palsy. For years I only had pain in my left hand. Now, it is starting to appear in my right. Not coincidentally, the nerves coming from the right side of the spine are now also being impinged. It is not uncommon into the 6th or 7th decade of life. Not nearly as common in youngerster.
