What Causes Coldness In Left Arm Between Shoulder And Elbow?

Hello, for the last few days my left arm between my shoulder and elbow has felt very cold. It goes away if I try to make it warm by covering it up. But my right arm doesn t get the cold feeling. It almost feels like as if ice was put on it, and it feels like a burning sensation. Does it mean anything significant?

Orthopaedic Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,
thank you for your question.
cold sensation in your upper extremity may be due to nerve compression in your cervical spine like herniated disc in the neck.
It also may cause tinggling sensation or muscle weakness.
I suggest you yo do a neck MRI and see a neurology specialist.
