I pulled something on my upper left arm while lifting something heavy. it is painful what is best way to heal this.i do not have insurance?

Start with basics!: If you know exactly when you injured yourself - and you have full ability to move the arm and it doesn't look unusual - start with the basics. We often recommend ice in the first couple of days after an injury, then heat OR ice whichever feels better. An anti-inflammatory such as ibuprofen can help, and it may heal itself. BE AWARE THAT LEFT ARM PAIN CAN BE A WARNING FOR HEART DISEASE. LGromkoMD
