Hello,

The pain & tingling that you are experiencing in your arm is due to compression, irritation, damage of the peripheral nerves. Peripheral nerves can get affected due to diabetes or any other developing pathology. Visit ER or see a Neurologist, get physically examined and get all the tests for the developing Peripheral Neuropathy done. In the meantime take vitamin B with folic acid, take diet rich in calcium, iron and minerals. For pain take Acetaminophen (Tylenol)when needed.

Hope I have answered your query.
