Im a 38 year old male and i have a pain radiating down my left arm and it feels like a pinched nerve. i also get pins and needles in this arm daicthis?

Radiculopathy: Pain, numbness, and/or tingling that radiates down your arm may be an indication that a nerve arising from your neck (cervical spine) is being compressed or irritated. This may result in a condition called cervical radiculopathy. However, nerves that become pinched in your arms (peripheral neuropathy) can also mimic these symptoms. I would consult with a local physician for a formal evaluation.

Yes, pinched nerve: Yes, sounds like a classic pinched nerve aka radiculopathy. It will usually resolve on its own, but mechanical cervical traction in physical therapy can help greatly. If pain is severe and/or disabling, then a cervical epidural steroid injection would help.
