Hi,

There are few reasons of numbness in arm, it might be due to thyroid, vitamin B12 level or deranged blood sugar levels. It could be possible because of displaced disc in your cervical spine for this get the MRI of cervical spine done.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
