The pain in upper arm the way you describe is most probably in the muscles.You can try over the counter med like aleve or Advil.But if it persists you should get it checked by your Doctor for proper diagnosis

You most likely are straining your muscles if you are lifting, pulling, or stretching your arm while exercising. Ease up on your routine and place hot compresses on arm and OTC cream or gel on area. Go into sauna or steam room after workout if available.
