Aches and pains

I have been practising my blues rhythms, and have noticed that my left arm and hand starts aching, even after a couple of minutes of the regular I-IV-V shuffle we all know and love.

What gives?

Is the aching something that will train out -- is it a matter of my muscles getting stronger -- of is it a sign of danger?

And if I will grow stronger over time, how long will it take before I can shuffle for as long as I like without my arm hurting?
