Answer 1

is it muscle or nerve ?

Muscle pain is dull and constant, and gets worse when you flex it.

Nerve pain is "hot" or "pops", thats the best way to describe it.

My dad has a B12 deficiency and has horrible nerve pain in his arm in that location unless he gets B12 shots.

If it doesn't go away in 2 days I would go to the doctor.

Answer 2

you may have pulled something which can take a while to go away but if its really painfull you should see your dr

Answer 3

When did it start happening....? after what...? i'd check it out with a doctor to be safe though.
