muscular pain in upper arm, how to get relief?

Answer 1

Rest it.

For pain relief you could try ibuprofen gel like Ibuleve or Nurofen Gel, rub it into the affected area.

Answer 2

Check here a very effective Sciatica Natural Treatment ( http://cure-sciatica.info )
Normally, I would not answer a question like this as my expertise is generally in medication but I had severe sciatica while I was pregnant with my 3rd child (after having had twins) and I had sciatica so bad that I was finding it difficult to walk. I tried massage therapy and physical therapy and could not take medication
I went to the chiropractor and the pain was instantly relieved. My hips and lower back were out of alignment because I had carried twins the year before. On occasion a Doctor of Osteopathy (DO) can also work but they usually only work on one joint at a time - the chiropractor will do your whole back which works faster. Anyone who does not believe in chiropractors will tell you they are quacks - don't listen.
I don't necessarily believe that chiropractors can cure things like diabetes but they can definitely relieve some types of back pain especially if a pinched nerve is involved which is usually the cause of sciatica.

Answer 3

Your Doctor can prescribe you some muscular pain relief cream which you rub in a few times a day and it warms the area.

Answer 4

Try sleeping with one less pillow. I know it sounds silly, but I get wicked stiff necks from stress sometimes; really bad ones - so bad I can't turn my head or raise my arm. I take away one pillow at night and it seems to help me out. The pain is still there but for days, not weeks, like it used to be. Good luck!

Answer 5

Any analgesic will give relief to pain.But if it is continuous,it may be perhaps you are driving vehicles for long duration,lifting heavy objects with hands or your way of sleeping may not be correct.If you sleep face down over your hands,it may cause pain.You have to identify the cause and then decide course of action.

Answer 6

Answer 7
