Hello,

There are many causes for upper arm pain but where is the exact location of pain? Possible causes are
1. A broken arm
2. A dislocated joint
3. Fibromyalgia
4. A herniated disk
5. A rotator cuff injury
6. Swimmer’s elbow
7. Bicep Tendonitis etcetera.
Until examination and complete history, it is difficult to say what it is. Please consult your rheumatologist he will examine and treat you accordingly.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Penchila Prasad Kandikattu
