What Causes Severe Pain In My Left Arm?

I have been woken at around 4am every morning for a few weeks with servere aching in my left arm. My forearm and hand plus fingers feel numb but the ache is so bad it feels like it is burning. If I stand it starts to feel better. But the numb sensation is with my most of the day. I cant sleep as the pain is so bad. I am a hairdresser but also clean houses 15hrs weekly for extra cash. I do not drink alcohol (at all) but do smoke. I take vitamin c and zinc. Also Lansoprezole for acid reflux. I normally sleep well but do have very odd dreams. Please help. Sally

Hi most probably you have cervical spondylosis. Please get x-ray of spine in neck done to rule it out--regards
