I was shocked by my outlet 3 days ago and my arm has been swollen and very painful and weak since then. what can i do to reduce the swelling for now?

Abnormal: An electrical shock causing these symptoms is highly unusual. I would advise a visit to the doctor. I worry about internal burns and/or other unusual consequences to this event.
