It looks to me that you may be having nerve compression at your elbow or wrist. This may be ulnar or median nerve respectively. My advice to you is to avoid keeping your elbow and hand in same position for long hours. Also Gabapentin and methylcobalamine tablet will help. If pain persist than get EMG/NCV to find out right side for nerve compression. A steroid shot or surgery is option if symptom increases.
