The causes of arm pain are numerous, but most often it can be traced back to one thing: muscle fatigue. What feels sore and tired today should feel better tomorrow, no problem. But if the pain comes and goes—and comes back again—without an obvious cause, it might be arthritis.

Easy does it. If your pain isn't severe and there's no obvious deformity, doctors recommend starting with the most conservative treatment of all: rest. Give your arm a break from activity for a few days.
Slow but steady. If complete rest isn't possible—for example, if you have to use those aching forearms for work—cut the activity in half. Spread the task out and take frequent breaks. "It's reasonable to get people to the point where they are able to continue their activity at a level where they don't experience pain," says Andrew Tucker, M.D., a family practitioner specializing in sports medicine at the Cleveland Clinic Foundation in Ohio. "But it's unwise to work or play through significant pain. Pain is a warning sign."
Hang 'em high. Raise the arm to about the level of your chest during periods of rest. For example, if you're sitting on the couch, prop up your arm on a few fluffy pillows.

Just to clarify for legal reasons, when I said 'I am' I meant to say 'I know someone who is'.
