Wrist and elbow pain.
I'm having problem with my left arm. This condition happens only in winters in the morning hours after waking up. The pain starts with movement of my finger then it gradually goes to my wrist then to elbow and if i still try to move my hand it reaches shoulder making it more worst. The pain feels like numbness, burning and also makes my hand feeling tired. I also feel my hand cannot lift heavy objects. What's wrong?
