Might have something to do with your neck… what are you doing to try to fix the neck?

Trigger point stuff along with stretching of the traps and rhomboids will probably help.

Only happens when your arms are above your head? Sounds like a loss of blood flow to me, but I have no idea. I googled it though and got lots of hits, I hope this helps:

Following are some possible causes for tingling in left arm and hand.

* Discomfort, numbness or tingling in left arm can be caused due to Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS). In CTS, the median nerve present at the wrist gets pressed which obstructs blood circulation.
* If excess stress or pressure is applied on the left arm, it may go numb or may cause tingling in the left arm. Also, fatigue and weakness can, sometimes, cause tingling in the arm and the arm may go limp for some time.
* If the surrounding tissues and muscles apply too much pressure on the nerve or in the case of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, you may experience a pinched nerve which causes tingling in left arm. Read more on pinched nerve.
* Improper blood circulation may be one of the most common reasons for tingling sensation in arm. Generally, a tight outfit or piece of jewelery worn on the arm can prevent proper circulation in the arm. Also, if you sleep awkwardly with your arm in a position such that blood cannot flow through it sufficiently, you may experience the pins and needles sensation. Read more on blood circulation problem.
* Any disorder or malfunctioning related to the spine, like bulging disc, dislocated or ruptured vertebrae in the neck, nerve damage or nerve pinched in neck may affect the blood circulation of the arm. Improper blood flow in the arm will make a person feel the tingling sensation in the arm.
* Vascular problem caused due to any reason can cut off the circulation of fluids through the left arm which is an obvious reason for tingling, numbness and pain in the left arm and hand.
