Yes, you probably have a muscle strain. The area hurts when you move your arm at a certain direction or picking up something on the floor. It is a self limited condition, resolve by itself in 1-2 days. You can take Ibuprofen or Advil (OTC) 200 mg x 2, three to 4 times next 24 hours if it bothers you too much. If the condition persists after 3 days, you can see a doctor then to rule out other cause
