What Causes Sharp Pain In The Upper Arm?

I have been having muscle pain in my left upper arm for about 2 months now. It is. It sharp pains, it is like I have been lifting weights for hours, and when I wake up and throw back the covers it hurts so bad. Not so bad during the day, but early in morning.....feels like strained muscles, but I do not do any of that!

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

You may be suffering from supraspinatus bursitis or osteoarthritis or rotator culf tear or infection etc. Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. Avoid lifting your arm above head keep hand bi side to prevent pain and lax joint. Use pain killer, cold and warm compression. If symptoms not improved please consult your Orthopedics he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
