I first noticed this a few months ago, after I moved into a new office (I'm not sure if this is related in any way, due to desk setup or posture etc). I am right-handed, by the way. From time to time I began to notice a strange sensation in my right arm, in the lower arm just below the elbow, on the edge of the bony part (where the bony side of the arm joins with the more fleshy side). It's not easy for me to explain this strange sensation, but I don't find it pleasant.
At first, I would only notice it for about 5 minutes a day while I was sitting at my desk at work, then it would fade away. It didn't happen every day, though. However, it seems to happen a bit more frequently now, and not just when I'm working (I've been working from home for several weeks now, anyway). It also seems to go on for longer than it used to.
Does anyone have any idea what it could be,
or if it's something I need to get checked out? As it's only ever my right arm, I'm wondering if it could be to do with the way i hold the computer mouse, or maybe if I lean on my right arm in a way that I don't with my left arm or something like that? But I've been doing office/computer-based work for about 15 years now, so if it's something to do with my posture etc it seems strange that it's only started in the last few months.
