Answer Hi NAFI,
First, have you ever injure your right arm before?
Do you notice if you sleep on your right side?
Any activities that make the right arm painful or more painful? (specific movements or usage)
What type of pain is it? (sharp, dull, ache, pulling, stabbing, tingling...etc.)
When did the pain started?
Please get back to me with those question and I will be able to give you my opinion.
