Yes, when I fell I did a head over heels and landed on my left hand and arm. The pain was more generalized to the whole arm and after a month settled in the elbow, wrist and forearm.

Do the sharp pains occur in all locations or specifically one more than the other? When did this particular episode of worsening begin and what circumstances surround it? Etc. Etc.

Let me try to fill in the pieces Bryan. Dull pain occurs whenever I turn my palm over as an example if my left hand was palm down and I turned it counter clockwise the pain is dull. If I try to grasp something such as a door knob and turn it counter clockwise the pain is sharp. If I hold a towel in my lefthand and try to dry under my right arm after a shower the pain is very intense.
The sharp pain is in the inside of my wrist by the thumb and the muscle that runs along the top of the forarm. The pain in my elbow is duller than the wrist pain.
Lifting is out of the question and any lift such as a press, curl, pull causes sharp and intense pain as does swimming with my hands open. If I swim with closed fists I'm pain free but try doing 1,000 yards like that and you'll appreciate being able to grab the water.
I appreciate you help and if this is still not clear please let me know and I'll try to give you a better description.
