I've been having issues. (Shut up. I know I always have issues. These are different.)
My left arm. It hurts. The upper arm, actually. It has done this for years. But now, it barely lets up. It's like a sort of tiny cramp, deep in the muscle. I can massage it to no avail. Ben-Gay has no effect. Likewise ice or heat. It just WHINGS me sometimes, and sometimes it wrrrwrrrwrrrBRRROOOPPPlnnngggnnngggs me.
I think this means I need massages. Maybe massages by hot Latin non-English-speaking men? Or a fat Swedish woman. I don't care. Just make it STOP. My doc grimaced and agreed that a random arm pain sucks, but that it probably just means that I overuse it. Hm. Overuse? My left arm? That I write with, play flute with, hold all my bags with, operate nearly everything with? Nah. It's surely a stroke. Or maybe a verrry stretched-out prelude to a heart attack? Even though I've seen my doc very recently?
Welp, there it is.

You might have some irritation at your rotator cuff - maybe check out physical therapy? They'll give you exercises specific to your body and needs.
Massages are good, too, but they usually only offer temporary relief. I think it's best to get it checked out, because like you said - you use that arm for everything!
