Why do i always feel the need to stretch my arms and wrists? is this an ocd tendencyy?

Doubtful: Anything is possible without it being further evaluated by a professional. In general i would say no but it obviously is bothering you enough to ask the question. Therefore i would start by seeing your family dr. And he or she will decide if a specialist is needed or just reassurance.
