What Causes Pain And Tingling Sensation In The Left Arm?

I have had pain and tingling in my left arm with a to the touch tenderness at my elbow. Now this tingling has moved to my shoulder, whole arm and hand/fingers. I went to my doctor last week (PA) and he gave me steroids to take and suggested I go to physical therapy 2-3 times per week. At that time I was only complaining of my arm aching/tingling. I am weight proportionate but have had high blood pressure for the last twenty years.
