Hello,

Deep pain in the arm, along with pin and needles may be caused by a pinched nerve. This may be explained by the disc protrusion as seen in the MRI, though its ver little.

But if the pain is in the outer arm and this may be explained by the c5 c6 little disc protrusion. So you may talk to your doctor and discuss this.

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

Take care
