Suggest Treatment For Swollen And Painful Arm

I am having pain in my arm on the thumb side. It is swollen and am having trouble gripping. My muscle starts spasming and there is a popping or clicking sound. The pain is worse if I lift something over my head with that hand. It is tender to the touch. I have been wearing a brace and the pain is better, but it doesn t go away completely.
