Suggest Treatment For Soreness In The Upper Right Arm

sounds more like soft tissue injury
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
let me start by answering your direct question first. It doesn't sound like a blood clot. Although thrombosis may be 'hidden' sometimes (without any visible sign), we usually expect local warmth and swelling. The veins of the affected extremity peripheral to the blood clot may become more prominent compared to the other extremity.
Besides that thrombosis requires a cause. Upper extremity thrombosis is even more difficult to occur. Patients with such thrombotic incidents usually have a long history of thrombosis or tumors.
The most likely cause is soft tissue injury. Worsening of the pain with certain moves is confirmatory. Sometimes the patient may have no memory of the injury.
An orthopedics specialist should locate the painful tissue and order appropriate tests (if needed). If this is indeed the case then rest and NSAID may help. Avoid moves that cause pain until you see your doctor.
I hope you find my comments helpful!
