I've been to the gym enough times to know that pain (burn as chad says) is good, but if the pain is causing your actual muscles to become weak (ie you can't lift what you normally would be able to and it's a sharp pain) then you've probably damaged whatever muscle it is. Give it a rest for a few days and it should be fine. A couple weeks back I tried lifting too much and my right arm basically gave way to any amount of weight. 3 or 4 days later I was ok though.
