Severe Pain In Wrist, Elbow And Shoulder. What Could This Be?

Hi,
A sudden severe pain started in the middle of my wrist upper side and later even went onto my elbow and shoulder. And since then it keeps coming back. Pain killers or ointments don't help at all. What could it be. Its been couple days now. I did not do any strenuous activity or anything. One day it just started out of nowhere.
