Nerve compression: Your symptoms could be related to nerve compression in the neck, shoulder or elbow. An evaluation of your range of motion, skeletal structure and symptom pattern is in order to best determine the treatment for symptom relief. It would also be a good idea to review any repetitive activities that you have been performing with your right arm.

Maybe CTS: Possible that you have a nerve pinching at wrist causing a carpal tunnel syndrome, and an EMG study could localize your problem. A hand specialist would be of value.
