Answer 1

These types of pains are all normal for someone who is 17 years old. You only need to worry if a pain in some particular place keeps coming back, or lasts a long time (more than several days in a row). There is usually no particular problem causing random pains in teenagers--its what people call 'growing pains.'

Sleeping with a folded arm or wrist can cause pins and needles feelings in anyone who sleeps deeply--nothing unusual with this. You can practice sleeping in a position the does not require your elbow to bend as much, and this problem will go away.

Hi,
You must see a doctor! If these pains don't resolve then the pain you've described could be realted to problems in your joints, or the muscle surrounding the bone.
This could also be radiating pain from somewhere like your neck or shoulders, these pains are mostly caused by stress when the muscle becomes tense. You could try a massage in the neck/shoulder area and see if that helps!

Hope this helps :)
