What could be causing me to have periods of sharp pain in my lower right arm just below my elbow the radiates almost to my wrist. pain last only secs?

Tendinitis: Hard to say w/o examination but it sounds like you might have tendinitis.An examination could quickly differentiate between tendinitis and a peripheral nerve 'pinching' @your elbow or other problems.See an orthopedic surgeon if your pain continues or increases in severity.Good luck!
