Question : I have this extreme pain which starts from my right shoulder and it goes down my arm. I have an excruciating pain in my bicep, forearm and hand. It feels like my bicep is going to explode! It's starting to happen 4-5 times a day and the pain lasts 5-7 minutes each time. One day last month I was working out, doing shoulders that day and I tweaked it in the middle of a set. Please can you help me! What do you think it could be?

Brief Answer:
You need to be investigated

Detailed Answer:
Hello, Thank you for posting your question on HealthcareMagic.
The pattern of pain that you are describing looks like a pinched nerve which must have happened during your workout.
But the region where the nerve is pinched has to be located in order to.suggest the definitive plan of management.
Please get an MRI of the neck and the right shoulder joint so that the exact place of.injury can be pin pointed.
Meanwhile please start Tab Meconerve 500mcg daily for a month it will help to repair nerve damage .
If the pain is severe you could use hot.compress or any otc analgesic but don't masage the area till the exact cause is found .
Revert back with MRI results.
Hope this helps
Best wishes
