A member asked:
Top of right arm feels like a pulled muscle and like a dead arm and get tingling in fingers. is this a pulled muscle or something else?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nerve compression: The dead arm and tingly fingers is from compressing a nerve in the brachial plexus in your arm pit area. This can happen simply by sleeping with your arm over your head.
