This is on my left side.Arm down to fingers tingle all the time.My finger tips are numb and feels raw. this is all the time. This all have been going on for quite a while just seem to be getting worst never better. I have been told I have a celiac Aneurysm . Small so just watching so they say.I have to set leading to the right side for any relief .The pain is always there just gets bad when I have to set up in a setting position for a time. Riding in a car is the worst.lying down in my only relief. Nothing I can take help in any way.
