Did you injure your shoulder or elbow? With that distribution, it sounds as though the median nerve is injured or compressed due to swelling from an injury in the area. There are also other things such as bursitis or carpal tunnel that could cause similar symptom. I hesitate to say carpal tunnel because you have pain higher that could indicate something else is happening. Also, if you are in an occupation or engaged in exercise that requires repetitive motion of that arm, you could get similar symptoms. Either way, you need to be evaluated by your physician. This has been going on for 2 weeks and if there is nerve damage, it could get worse and eventually lead to paralysis if not addressed. If you have no other questions for me, please click 'accept'. I hope that you get better soon.
