If you slightly fell but you, embraced against something to keep from falling all the way down from tripping over something. why does my arm stil hurt?

Muscle tear: You may have torn a muscle or tendon catching yourself during the fall. Applying high forces at awkward angles often occurs during the event you described. Try ice, ibuprofen, and rest. If it isn't improving in several days go see your doctor.
