why is my arm hurting?
maybe I'm paranoid but lately my right arm (my dominant arm) has been hurting. Right where the shoulder and arm meet, on top of the arm, not the arm pit, it's been aching. It has these really intense pains randomly while I'm just sitting and doing nothing. It started today. It happens with about 3 or 4 pains each lasting 2-5 seconds, and then it stops for a while.
The pains enough to make me gasp and wince.
my mom says it could be from my backpack. I always have the strap on my left shoulder, but to support the weight I have to hold my right shoulder a certain way. I have a 'messenger bag' style backpack, so it's not like I'm being lazy and not putting the strap on like I should, the thing only has one strap in the first place
I know it's nothing serious at the moment, but any idea if it will GET serious if I don't change something? What could it be?

It sounds like it probably could be the backpack. Messenger bags are good if you're carrying light things. I had one in high school and it hurt my shoulder and back. I would try using a different bad and see if there is a difference. You can also get Salonpas. It helps relieve muscle pain. They sell it in all pharmacy stores.

Well it can be from a bunch of things, it could be from sleeping on your right side (putting too much pressure on your shoulder when your asleep) (that happens to my ears)
it could also be from the weight of your messenger bag because all those books and your lunch and whatever else you have in there to get you through the day really adds up and can do alot of damage to your shoulders and back.
