What Causes Arm Pain?
I lifted something heavy with my arm partially outstretched, elbow bent, with a curling motion, a month ago. Now my arm hurts slightly below the shoulder all the time and is weak and hurts when I try to reach out and pick something up or as I stretch it above my head. Is this serious enough to seek treatment or will it mend if I favor it?

hi,
thank you for providing the brief history of you.
As per your history this looks more of a bicipital tendinitis. Undergoing physical therapy like therapeutic ultrasound therapy and TENS therapy should help reduce pain. Also exercises to strengthen muscle will help avoid further injuries.
In my clinical practice most patients respond well to physical therapy.
