Can Tingling Sensation In The Left Arm Be Symptoms Of A Pinched Nerve?
Hello I am having like a burning, tingling sensation in my left arm, down to my fingers. It also feels like someone is grabbing the muscle next to my armpit. I get slight relief when I lift my arm above my head. Could this be a pinched nerve or muscle related problem?

Hello,
It could be a pinched nerve.
Other possibilities like peripheral neuropathy also be ruled out.
Consult a neurologist and get evaluated.
Detailed evaluation is required including an MRI scan.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
