Arm Pain & Sensitivity: Causes, Symptoms & Relief

Question
i've been trying to find answers to this problem i've been having for a few days:

my arm is very sensitive to the touch - the way a sunburn would feel.  however there are no visible signs of any problems other than mild swelling.  no discoloration or blemishes and it is not a burn of any sort.  the pain extends from the wrist to the elbow and only on one side of the arm (i've created a picture of the affected area viewable at

thank you for your time

Answer
Good job on the picture.  With tenderness to the skin w/o injury, makes me think that the nerve has been irritated.  Could be shingles, and you will develop the rash in a day or two.  Could be an injury to the nerve at the elbow, shoulder, or neck level.  Would try Alleve, 2 twice a day and see your doc if not better over the weekend.

Good luck with it...
