A member asked:

Earlier today my right arm tingled, then i got a pain from the elbow to the shoulder and now it feels a little heavy and is difficult to lift???

Some potentials: Although you may be experiencing nerve compression at your wrist, I cannot exclude an acute brachial plexitus or nerve compression in neck. And even a stoke might start this way. Best to obtain medical attention ASAP, and get this diagnosed and treated.
