Hello,
Thanks for your query.
Pins and needles in arm and loss of strength in arm could be due to a nerve root irritation in the cervical spine. To exactly diagnose this problem, you need a MRI scan.
Momentarily, take daily supplementation of Vit B2,B6 & B12 to suppress the symptoms of tingling in the arm.This supplements will help you in the prevention of symptoms. Along with these you need to have nutritious diet consisting of fruits and green leafy vegetables and more fluids.

I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
