1. Pain in the arm is a frequent occurrence and is usually caused by exercise, the performance of certain sports or activities that involve repetitive motion. Symptoms may include pain, inflammation or cramping. Usually, mild discomfort will improve on its own. If the pain is severe, it is best to consult a doctor; however, there are many things you can do at home to relieve the pain and help your arm recover. Define what you have as just a sprain. It is called a sprain to stretch, kink or break a muscle fiber. Symptoms include pain, inflammation, bruising, limited mobility and an «explosive» sound when the injury occurs. Damage is temporary and damage to the fiber is not permanent.
