Hello Roxy,
Arm numbness can be a symptom of a wide variety of diseases, disorders or conditions that either restrict blood flow or cause injury to the nerves..If u are a smoker , kindly stop it. Start exercises for shoulder and elbow along with this take some nerve rejuvinators. If you experience arm numbness with paralysis, confusion, arm or hand weakness, or slurred speech, seek immediate medical attention.
Hope it helped u.
