It looks from your details that you may have sudeck dystrophy at your upper limb.This condition is due to problem at nervous system of upper limb.This needs to be seen by your orthopedic doctor.There are some therapies which are very helpful like mirror therapy.Physiotherapy with good analgesic will give relief .It should be taken for long time.
Hope this will help you.
