What Causes Tingling And Numbness In Hand And Fingers?

Hi, I am a 39 yr. Old Male. I ve been experiencing tingling and numbness in my left hand and fingers for about a year now and a few months ago felt a hard lump on inner part of my upper left arm between my elbow and armpit. It s not painful, but what I due notice is I can only feel it when my arm is fully extended. When I bend my arm i can t find it. What could this be?
