Hi,
Thanks for your query.
After reading your symptoms, I feel that you must rest your arm for a couple of days as much as possible along with physiotherapy. For symptomatic relief you may take any goof painkiller along with application of local analgesic gels or sprays to reduce pain. Hot fomentation may also help. The problem should resolve in a couple of days with the above-mentioned therapy.
If the problem persists then an MRI scan should be done.
Hope you feel better soon. Let me know if you have more concerns.
Regards
