Brief Answer:
Blood clot can not occur at your age

Detailed Answer:
Hello, welcome to HCM,

I have studied your case and reviewed the image. Pain in arm can be caused by muscle pull or sleeping in wrong position . But It can not be a blood clot. Blood clot is mostly seen in old age ,bed ridden patients and mostly in legs.I think it is not there in your case. I would suggest you following.

1.Take Tab Brufen 400mg once daily for next 3 days.
2.Ice fomentation and volini gel local application.
3. Compression bandage to be applied

I hope this answer will be useful for you. let me know if there is any other followup questions.
Thanks
