What Causes Constant Pain In Muscle Of Upper Right Arm?
I have pain in the muscle of my upper right arm. No injury. I ve had the pain for about 2 weeks now. The pain is on the under side of my arm and goes down to my hand. It is a constant pain. I am already on medicine for arthritis. This pain is not in my joint. Is it time for me to see my doctor or should I try something different?

Hello,
Pain in upper right arm could be due to trauma and could be muscular in origin. However, muscular pain usually does not travel along the arm. I suggest you to use a muscle relaxant ointment to relieve the pain. In case the pain is muscular, it will get relieved after using muscle relaxant.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
