What Causes Sharp Pain In Left Arm And Shoulder Along With Numbness In Fingers?

My left arm is driving me crazy, its painful it feel like its being twisted or put in a vice and clamped down on mainly where the muscles or the meaty part, and my first two firgers are numb and tingling and a hard bump deep under my skin thats painful to touch just below my ring finger. My two fingers have been goin numb for just about a year now. But my arm and shoulder pain has just about killed me here lately. I would appreciate any help, Thank you, Ed Wisdom
