What Causes Numbness And Tingling Sensation In The Arm After NSAID Treatment?

In my right arm i am having a little numbness and tingling. Much of the time I feel it in my finger tips. Sometimes a little in my forearm. When I lift my hand over my head I feel it on the bottom of my upper arm. A little while ago I talked to a doctor here about what I believe was tennis elbow or golfers elbow. He recommended steroid and nsaid treatment. I guess that helped a little but as that was subsiding this more recent tingling and numbness started. It has progressively got a little more bothersome.
