Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have been having muscle soreness in my right upper arm off and on for the past week. I just pulled my boot off and felt really bad pain and a sort of pop. There seems to be a sort of knot where my actual arm muscle would be if I had much. Any ideas? I’m icing it and not moving around.
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
This looks to be some type of muscle strain where would go into spasms. , does not look to be serious issue as this would happen with heavy works. Icing is ok but I would advise you do some massages with olive oil or like wise, to relax the muscle, give it some rest with slow passive movements. If still worried about the pain, you can go fro Paracetamol and some muscle relaxant, physiotherapist can help your a lot in such cases.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
