What Causes Pain And Swelling In The Upper Arm?
Hi, for the past 2 days I have been experiencing extreme upper arm bone pain. The pain has been achey but I can definitely tell that it s there. It wakes me up at night and ibuprofen is not touching the pain. It is also swelling a lot. I m not sure if I should go in for further testing.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Pain and swelling in upper arm can be due to an injury or a muscle strain or tear. A bone injury also needs to be ruled out if there is a history of trauma.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
