Answer
Dear Suphi,

Is the pain in the lower arm, upper arm, or at the shoulder?  What type of pain do you have?  Sharp, dull, achy, pulling?

Did the pain came about with any trauma or injury?  Does the pain get worse with movements of the right arm?  

I will be able to give my opinion to your concern with these additional information.
