Arm pain: Your description is not specific enough to make a diagnosis. I would need to know where in your arm (shoulder, upper arm, forearm, etc.), how long it's been hurting, any history of injury, etc. BUT, it sounds like it's musculoskeletal. You should see your primary care provider or an orthopedist. Perhaps a rheumatologist or PM&R specialist could help as well.
