Suggest Treatment For Pain In The Arms
A couple of weeks ago I was getting out of bed and I raised myself up using my arms and I popped my right arm. I heard the pop. Woke up with it hurting. I can hold it straight up just fine but if I try to move it to the side(like to fasten a seat belt) the pain is almost unbearable.

Hello,
It could be a simple muscular pain. As a first line management, you can take analgesics like paracetamol or aceclofenac for pain relief.
If symptoms persist you can consult an orthopaedic and get evaluated: In that case, an MRI scan will be helpful.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
