Hi
Im dr.hema physiotherapist.
As per your query, history of tingling and numbness of arm and hand with no evidence of other health issues it is probably because of involvement of sensory nerves due cervical spine problem and some sort of pressure over sensory nerve.
An evaluation makes clear and rule out other possibilities where it depends on your age type of work,assessment of neck ang general health,weight.
I will suggest you to get your consultation from Neurologist that will be the right way to solve your problem.
Hope I was able to provide you with useful information which guides for proper treatment.

Please do reply in doubt.
