Suggest Treatment For Severe Numbness On The Arm

My right arm has had a numb / painfull feeling for about 20months. I have been for physio and to a chiropract. Slight relief was felt, however, the strange numb feeling did not abate. I can for eg not even lift a file of kettle without suporting my arm with left hand. It worsens during the night and feels better towards late morning. Today I noticed that my fingers - on right hand only - are swollen?! Anti-inflammatories and Muscle relaxants do not help.
