My left arm and shoulder have been aching and kinda numb for about 4 hours now. it gets worse when i put my elbow down on anything?

Radiating: The pain in the arm and shoulder might be due to impingement or pressure on a nerve root as it exits the cervical spine, pressure on the nerve in the axilla (armpit), or trauma to the shoulder components ("rotator cuff"). These are the most common causes.
