Hi! Welcome to health care magic!
It needs to be evaluated in detail as it seems to be compressing at the nerves plexus which supplies the upper limb or arm on that side. It can be done with an ultrasound of the swelling and may also need to have biopsy of the swelling to diagnose the nature of swelling and may need excision of the swelling surgically. Until than yiu can use OTC pain killers.
Hoping you a speedy recovery. Regards.
