Hi there.

It's not really urgent to get it checked out right away. Do avoid strenuous activity with the affected arm. Avoid overhead activities. Avoid lifting heavy weights. If the problem does not subside you can get yourself examined by an Orthopaedic surgeon.
When you get the chance, do get an Xray and upload it for my review.
