Hello

Thanks for the query

If you have carried something heavy then it is most likely to be a cartilage tear. I advice you to give rest to the arm for 5 days, if the condition does not improve then you will have to get an MRI of the arm in order to evaluate for the pain

I hope I was of help

Regards
