What Causes Pain And Burning Sensation In The Right Arm?

My left arm just up from my hand (inside at where my watch buckle is) stings, or feels like I have burned it. The area is about 4 inches and somewhat to the little finger side of the inside arm. When I reach down to the ground to pick something up with left arm, there is a sharp pain in that area like a nerve is pinched. So, for the last week or so, I have tried to pick things up with my right arm. Except for when reaching, the pain is there constant but comes and goes in terms of degree. I am active, at high school weight 5 7 150-155 pounds. Have had back surgery x 2, two stints (none recent)and arthritis in toe left foot, knee pain and back but none of the condition are debilitating, so far. Accordingly take high blood pressure and other hypertension pills each day. Only recent change is adding Rossuvastatin, even though cholesterol has never been high. Thanks, Rod
