Brief Answer:
Due to compression of spinal nerve root

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

I have studied your case.
Due to compression of spinal nerve root there can be pins and needle sensation in your arm and back pain associated with it.
I will advise you to MRI spine for better diagnosis.

For these symptoms analgesic and neurotropic medication like pregabalin can be started consulting your doctor.
Till time, avoid lifting weights, Sit with support to back. You can consult physiotherapist for help.
Physiotherapy like ultrasound and interferential therapy will give quick relief.
I will advise to check your vit B12 and vit D3 level.
There may be age related osteoporosis associated so start treatment of that also.
