please help!!!

today my arm started hurting, from a little bit past my elbow all the way down to my wrist has be sensitive to touch and hurts when someone pulls on it or just touches it sometimes. it gets more sensitive the closer it gets to my wrist. my pinky on the same hand(left hand) is the same way except now its starting to get a sharp pain once in awhile when i move it or press down on it. its been happening all day and i think it started a couple days ago but i dont remember(memory sucks!!) andd im only 16 so i dont know if that helps or not. im wondering if i jst have like a small sprain or something??
i need to knowww!! please tell me what you think it might be. thank you! (:
 
Sounds to me like it could be a good case of tendinitis going down the outside of your arm and continuing right into your pinky. Resting it is the best policy. Try heat or ice and see if either helps...then stick with whichever helps the most.

My daughter was a flute player and she'd get tendinitis all the time from using her pinky fingers then switching to her violin. Drove her hands and arms nuts. Do you do a sport or play an instrument that might be causing a repetative injury to that area?
