Hello, based on the patient’s symptoms, the numbness and distending pain may result from compression of the left arm during rest, leading to impaired blood circulation. If the symptoms do not improve after adequate relaxation, a neurological disorder may be involved. We recommend promptly visiting a hospital for evaluation and receiving targeted treatment under the guidance of a qualified physician to prevent disease progression due to delayed care. I hope this information is helpful. Wishing you good health!
