What Causes Pain On Arms And Sore To Touch?

I have pain down the front of both arms, sometimes very slight and sometimes aching enough to keep me awake at night. Movements like cleaning a counter hurt especially. This ache carries down to the bone on the outside of my elbow. Often very sore to touch at and near this point have had this enough to trouble me for about two to three months. Any ideas as to what would be causing this.
