arm soreness

Upper extremity pain

Arm soreness is pain or discomfort in the muscles of the arm, typically from overuse, strain, or unaccustomed activity.

Athletes experience it after throwing or lifting; anyone might feel it after moving furniture or getting a vaccination: I had arm soreness for two days after my flu shot.

The condition usually resolves on its own.
