What Causes Tingling Sensation From My Shoulder To My Elbow?

hi,
thank-you for providing the brief history of you
As this tingling sensation in my opinion is related to pinched nerve in the cervical spine. Also the pinched nerve leads to symptoms due to sensory and motor distribances.
You even have a chronic low back pain which is due to muscle weakness and needs attention to strengthen.
In my opinion undergoing physical therapy should help you better for your neck and back pain. as in my clinical practice such cases respond well to physical therapy.
