What Causes Numbness In Arm After A Work Out?

Hi - I was working out yesterday, after doing hanging pull-ups, my right arm went numb, 24 hours later, it feels allot better but my fingertips are still a little numb. Do you know what might be wrong? my right shoulder joint also clicks a little when i move it sometimes. Many thanks Dexter
