What can i do for sore back and arm in pain for.week.now help x?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See Doctor: If this came on suddenly without a traumatic incident i would treat with advil (ibuprofen) for a few days, but if there is no improvement in a week you should get help from a pain specialist. Could be as simple as a strain, but could be more serious, .
