I have noticed that I seem to have worse arm (shoulder to fingers) pain when sitting in a chair with arm rests. IOW both arms simply at my side and resting on the arm rests. I have thought that it might be related to nerve compression around the elbows, but it still happens even if I use a pillow. Obviously when we experience pain we try to figure out what is causing it and more importantly what *not* to do.

Has anyone else had this?

I get that tingling in my arm and hands sometimes when I sleep on my side with my arm under the pillow or at the edge of the pillow. I wonder if it may just be the position of the arm and it may be compressing or stretching the nerve? Here's some info that discusses the related nerves, etc..
