Hello doctor,

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com. Tingling sensation in the left arm can be due to nerve compression in the neck or in the arm. You will need a thorough physical exam followed by electroneuromyography study of the arms and legs and if possible, Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the cervical spine. Meanwhile, do not lift heavy weight and bend forward.
