Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have soreness in upper right arm . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like angina , brachial plexus injury , bursitis , carpal tunnel syndrome , fibromyalgia , herniated disk , sprains and strains or tendinitis .
I would suggest you to apply warm compresses on arm , take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain , take proper rest . If condition doesn't get well then consult orthopedic surgeon for proper examination . Doctor will examine physically by checking the movement and order CT scan or MRI to confirm the diagnosis .
Doctor may prescribe muscle relaxant along with anti inflammatory or vitamin supplement for quick healing . Doctor may also recommend physical therapy . For now avoid frequent moments and lifting heavy objects .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
