My right arm hurts, feels weak, and numb. the pain is mostly on the shoulder. i've had this for a day now. what can it be?

Sounds like: you may have a pinched nerve in your NECK! Contact your PCP (Primary Care Provider) as soon as practicable... in the meantime Ibuprofen 600mg after meals and at bedtime with milk may help.. Good Luck PS You may need an MRI of your C-(neck)Spine Hope this helps! Dr Z
