Brief Answer:
Arthritis and peripheral arteritis to consider.

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to 'Ask A Doctor' service.

I have read your query and here is my advice.

In my opinion, conditions to consider in your case include arthritis of the hand joints, problems with the vessels such as peripheral arteritis, etc.

Tingling as a symptom may involve the nerves of the hand, so compression of nerves (secondary to the tunnel syndromes) should be considered also.

Blood tests for arthritis, Doppler ultrasound, and nerve conduction study of the affected arm and hand are necessary for a correct diagnosis.

Please discuss with your Doctor regarding these issues.

Hope you found the answer helpful.

Let me know if I can assist you further.
