Thanks for choosing healthcaremagic for posting your query.
I'm Dr. Sudhir Kumar.
I have gone through your question in detail and understand your concern.It can be muscle injury or muscle strain. Rest ,icing and analgesic such as ibuprofen are useful for pain relief. Vitamin B and C supplements are helpful.As vitamin D3 deficiency can also be cause of such pains so you can get your vitamin D level and if found low you can take supplements of vitamin D3. For further investigation you can get MRI of left arm. You can discuss with your doctor about it.
Hope I have answered your query.

thanks Dr for the information.
I have given the necessary rest to muscle with ibuprofen from time to time but it again starts every few days. The lump is not disappearing even when there is no pain.
The problem is continuing since 6 months.
