Completely depends on why the arm is sore. With bruising, icepacks help (10 minutes on, 10 minutes off, and repeat). With muscle strains, icepack as before, but then consider switching over to a hotpack, in order to increase circulation. Sprains or Repetitive Stress Disorder Injuries (RSD's) require me to know more in order to advise you well. One thing -- in the paraphrased words of the immortal Henny Youngman, if a certain motion causes you pain -- Don't DO that motion :}

What is the difference between golfers elbow and tennis elbow?

Tennis elbow and Golfer's elbow are two types of sore elbow. The prominent knuckles (epicondyles) on either side of the elbow joint provide attachment to groups of forearm muscles. Due to the concentration of muscular attachments in a small area, these epicondyles are victimized by a constant pull from the muscles. Certain activities like tennis, golf, household work, and so on, lead to inflammation of these epicondyles causing sore elbow. Inflammation of the epicondyle on the outer side of the elbow (lateral) is called tennis elbow. Inflammation of the epicondyle on the inner side of the elbow (medial) is called golfer's elbow. Though, tennis and golf predispose people to these diseases, it is not a rule. Infact many people who dont play these games and lead a sedentary life may also get these diseases.

Why is my brachialis muscle sore, but not my bicep?

The brachialis muscle is sore because it is being worked more than the bicep during certain exercises or activities. The brachialis muscle is located underneath the bicep and is often engaged when performing movements that involve bending the elbow, such as hammer curls or reverse curls. If the brachialis muscle is being used more than the bicep, it can become sore while the bicep may not be as affected.
