I deal with the same thing. I've been to my Dr. and the ER. Finally one Dr. asked me if I was right handed (yes). He then asked me if when I carry my child, purse, ect if I carry it on my left side to keep my right hand free to use my keys, phone ect. I do.... He told me to not lift anything heavy for a couple days and to see if the pain got better and it did. According to him, I just use my left arm too much to lift heavy things and need to use both hands. Also he suggested I try to put my purse on my right side. He said it's really common in women but their isn't any proof from x rays or test that confirm your muscles are just tired and strained. Hope this helps.
