What Causes Growing Lump In Arm Muscle Causing Stinging Sensation In Arms?

I first notice a small pea sized lump on my upper right arm muscle about 4 inches below my shoulder about a year ago. It didn t hurt so I disregarded it. It has now grown to about an inch in diameter and a quarter inch in height and is tender and lately has been causing a stinging sensation down my arm to the little finger on my right hand. It seems as though it might be pressing on a nerve. Is this a common scenario ?? First time for me.
