Find cause: You may possess a nerve compression at wrist, elbow, shoulder, or even neck. An exam might prompt the usage of an EMG test to localize the problem. One caveat, rarely left arm tingling can be associated with heart problems, and your doctor can assess this also. Once pinned down, appropriate treatment can be devised.
