What Could Sharp Pain In Upper Arm With A Purple Bruise Indicate?

Yes, thanks. Last night I woke up from a sharp pain on the inside of my upper, inner arm. It felt like a hard pinch or like my skin was being ripped open. No apparent reason for this to happen. When I woke up this morning, I noticed a purple bruise in the same spot. The bruise in linear and has tiny purple spots on the edges.
