Hard to know : There should be more details on the description of your pain, does it irradiate to any other place? Have you lost sensitivity on your legs? Is there any tingling? Does it get worse with certain movements? Please submit your question again or consult with someone here, we will be happy to help you

Been injured for about a month, primarily in the left bicep but also radiating throughout the entire arm at moments. Severity of pain goes up and down. Went to urgent treatment, who said it was a pulled bicep muscle. I was wondering about a pinched nerve. Prior to this I was jarred down and landed on my back side, while in seated position.
