Why do i have pain in my upper arm when i touch it or move it?

Shoulder or armpit?: Could be an inflamed node or early abscess if armpit involved. If shoulder, would think strain if trauma or lifting involved. If muscle stain heating pad/anti-inflammatory medications, trauma , ie contusion , cold compresses.

? near shoulder: Tendonitis about the shoulder is probably the most common reason the upper arm gets sore to the touch. See your doctor for examination to clarify.
