Suggest Treatment For Severe Pain In The Upper Arm Region

I have pain in the upper right arm for the last 6 hours. When I take two 81 mg it goes away shortly but comes back. I did have to lift a few things after the pain started but not over 5 lbs. Going to ice it when I get home. Any other suggestions... YYYY@YYYY

There are multiple resion for your pain in right upper arm as bellow.
1. If its first time and there is no numbness or radiating pain from neck to arm and hand then it can be only muscular pain at arm level.
2. If its paining from neck to arm and hand as well this kind of pain use to be there on and off with you then it can be related to your cervical spine.
3. If the pain starts from shoulder joint and this is the first time you experience it after lifting weight or having any jerk to shoulder then it can be related to shoulder joint soft tissue pain also which is coming to upper arm.

Now what ever the case is initial treatment is use hot and cold pack at home and look for the relief. If it is not getting all right then you need to visit a ortho and physio for proper examination and evaluation. Here with physical test and x ray they will evaluate it and may ask for MRI if needed.

Based on report you have to take treatment with medication and physiotherapy which will help you for pain relief. As well do take exercise suggestion from physio for preventing this kind of pain in future.

Take care.
