Maybe try for a few days try different sitting positions with seat cushions, small padding under your wrist or elbow whilst at computer, see if this helps and if not then go see your dr. By trying cushions at least then the dr can't just turn around n say to try it as you can say you've already ruled it out. Hopefully it will help. There are special things you can get ...are they called ergonomics....my brain is tired, but specialist things for people with pain problems who sit at computers.

It could be that you are unconsciously tensing your muscles when on the computer. I get the same type of thing from to time when using computer, having a long phone conversation or when driving and gripping the steering too tightly. At one point a few years ago (even before I was diagnosed with Fibro) it was chronic and lasted about a year (I thought that I had tennis elbow and the aching was so bad, especially at night - like toothache in my upper and lower arms). Try some arm and hand exercises and massage with something warming. Do you take Magnesium supplements? That may help too. Have a break from the computer for a few days and see if it improves.

It could be from sitting in the same position for long periods of time, with your arms doing the same thing day in day out . I had the same thing laying awake most of the night holding my tablet doing puzzles. Maybe try giving the computer a miss for a few days or changing your position . Keep us posted and good luck .
