Severe pain in upper arm

Just wondering if anyone has experienced something like this ...I tried to pick up a heavy heavy Bureau the other day and now my upper right arm is killing in severe piercing pain . it is debilitating ..I called about medication over the phone they said Tylenol and Advil but if it continues more than a couple days then see making evaluation appointment. Does anyone know if this could be a torn muscle OR sprained muscle or what and how long it took for you to heal from it ?thanks😢
