Reason For Pain In The Lower Arms?

My lower arms (above but sometimes also the wrist) sometimes ache, it feels like a muscle or bone bruise. When I press it or use it too much it sometimes feel like a prickle or deep itch. It come and goes and seems to sharpen when my arms stay in one spot, like on my laptop. I recently did yard work, but that was 5 days ago. I am also in school so I do a lot of writing 2 days a week. For my right arm this has been going on for years ever since I got injured there a little badly, but there wasn t a big bruise or much swelling. It has only recently been both arms. It might be strain on the left but what is up with my right arm? What is causing the aches and prickles?

Orthopaedic Surgeon 's  Response
Hi
Hope this message finds you in good health.
I have gone through your complaints and understand your concern.
U seem to have compressed a nerve in the neck somewhere that might be causing radiating pain in those regions.
Even if had injured one side,the other side also may start getting the symptoms later on due to disc injury
I suggest you get an Xray of neck and that region as well as an MRI to find out the exact cause.
Physiotherapy,analgesics,anti-inflammatory drugs should help.
Nothing to worry about.
I hope your question has been answered.
If you have any follow-up queries,feel free to consult me anytime.
Thanks,Take care,God bless.
