Your symptoms appear to indicate an autoimmune type arthritis, such as rheumatoid or psoriatic arthritis. This type of arthritis is associated with symptoms, such as stiffness, that are worse in the morning and improve as the day goes on. With osteoarthritis, symptoms get worse as the day progresses.
The limited range of motion in your arm, your arm being sensitive to the touch, and being awakened by discomfort may indicate fibromyalgia.
Ibuprofen is the strongest antiinflammatory medication available without a prescription. It should never be taken at the same time that you are taking aspirin.
I strongly suggest you schedule an appointment with your primary care physician. Your symptoms need to be evaluated and a diagnosis needs to be made.
