I think it's one week now. I think I have moved my arms in a wrong way while I sleep. I woke up and it's very painful. I cannot lift it up without pain. It is painful with certain movements.
I already take pain medicines like Alaxan and bought 5 pieces I take every lunch. But it is still painful. It's first time to happen to me that I have body aches that takes a long time to go. I rub with some pain liniment still it is there.

It's already one week and the pain doesn't go away. Probably some nerves in your arm are damaged. That's only my guess.

@Nakitakona No maybe just muscle. My body pains use to go easily with just one tablet but this one don't get relieve

Must be muscle-related or some nerve had been affected when you slept. If it stays like that better have it checked by a doctor so they could assess what therapy to do with it. If the pain persist you might need to have that consulted at a Physical Therapist.

If pain medicines won't work I may get to see a doctor

@rsa101 It is still painful with certain movements. I will just pray for it. This is just simple. Can't afford a doctor

I didn't lift anything heavy. Maybe I just suddenly made a wrong move with my arm. It still hurts until now

@averygirl72 This happens, I know that I lifted something and made a bad movement and damaged the rotator cuff of my shoulder.

I once had a painful arm I used an ointment to relax the muscle and then put it into a sling to give it a rest and I believe the pain went away in just about a week.

I never tried using a sling. It's not always painful there are just movements that trigger the pain

Maybe you have pulled a muscle or strained a ligament. I hope it improves soon. Chronic pain is difficult to cope with.

It's not painful all the time only with certain movements. It still hurts
