Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The pain in the arm seems to be due to a soft tissue injury in the area. It is best to get an X-ray done to rule out any bone injury. Most of the times such injuries do heal on their own in 1-2 weeks.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
