What Causes Tingling Sensation In Arms And Shoulder?
Hi, I have had pins and needles in the inside of my left arm from my shoulder to my thumb for around 4 months. This happens through the day and night I also experience an ach in my bicep and shoulder area. This happens mainly at night (not all the time). I do also have a stiff neck on the left hand side. I need to take pain meds to help me go to seep at night from time to time. I am 51 years old. I go to the gym and cycle 5 times a week. I would appreciate any help that you may be able to offer

Hi,
From history it seems that you might be having degenerative changes in your cervical spines giving pinched nerve pressure symptoms.
Go for x-ray cervical spines for cervical spondilitis.
Go for physiotherapy.
Avoid putting pillow under neck while sleeping.
Consult orthopedic surgeon/neurosurgeon and get examined.
Take B!, B^, B12 medicines or shots.
Ok and take care.
