What Causes Pain And Swelling In Right Arm?

pain can be due to cervical disc bulge
Detailed Answer:
Hello
I have read your query.
From your description, the arm and shoulder pain can be related to cervical spine nerve compression.
Cervical disc bulge lead to nerve compression. Though there can be other causes, your description sounds more in favour of this condition. I would order for MRI cervical spine which will help in diagnosis.
Since you are in severe pain, it would be worthwhile to consult the doctor. Over the counter pain killer may not be of much help in treating severe pain. You need prescription medicines. Therefore visiting a doctor is more favorable. You can be started on medication like methylcobalamine and neurotropic medication like pregabalin. Physiotherapy plays important role in treatment. Physiotherapy like ultrasound and Tens may give you relief.
