Left arm is heavy/hard to lift. throbbing/numbness like it is asleep but before pins and needles. started yesterday morning. no insurance, emergency?

Not emergency.: But should be seen relatively soon by your doc who can sort this out. Most likely cause is a peripheral nerve palsy, but could also be more serious. Really need a good exam and a listen to your story.
