Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The mild pain and tingling that you have in upper arm can be due to mild spondylottic changes in the cervical spine. Abnormal neck position or muscle spasm can also cause such a discomfort. You can avoid painful movements, avoid using a pillow and do some neck isometric exercises and see if it helps.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
