For about a month now I have been getting random pains. Mostly I get them in my fingers. Lately I have been getting them in my ankles and sometimes my wrists. I also feel them in my shoulders from time to time. Does anyone have any idea what this could be? They only last for maybe a minute, and on a 1-10 scale it is most like a 3, not very painful at all. I was just wondering what someone thought. Thanks!

This could be the beginnings of a condition known as Fibromyalgia. It usually starts in the shoulders and pans out. A doctor Of rheumatology is who you need to see to find out for sure if this is what you have.
The pain of fibromyalgia occurs in areas where the muscles attach to bone or ligaments and is similar to the pain of arthritis. The joints themselves are not affected, however, so they are not deformed nor do they deteriorate as they may in arthritic conditions. The pain typically originates in one area, usually the neck and shoulders, and then radiates out. Most patients report feeling some pain all the time; and many describe it as "exhausting." The pain can vary, depending on the time of day, weather changes, physical activity, and the presence of stressful situations; it has been described as stiffness, burning, stabbing, sudden, radiating, and aching. The pain is often more intense after disturbed sleep.
see a rheumatologist as soon as possible to get help. I've enclosed an article I've written on Fibromyalgia which may give you more Ideas as well as ways to take care of this yourself.

For the past several months I've had some sharp pains in odd areas. They appear and can be intense. Then it disappears and later appears in another area. Exp: The front shoulder, back of the arm, side of my knee, back rib. Not radiating but deep and sharp.
I have no clue whats going on. Its strange.
Anybody know?

According to me its is the symptom of arthritis pain. I would suggest you to consult with physiotherapist.
