Nerve impingement: Hello, it is more than likely that you are impinging nerves in both arms that are causing your symptoms.These nerves control sensation/movement, among other things, and depending on your anatomy/previous history; they can be impinged in certain positions and cause the symptoms you describe. If your symptoms occur at other times, it may be the case that the nerves are irritated at the spine level.
