Dealing with Numbness, Tingling, Swelling and Pain in Arms

I’m so glad to join this group of Alikes. Has anyone been dealing with numbness, tingling, swelling and pain in arms. It starts what feel like nerve pain under the arm and down the inner arm to elbow , then numbness, pain and swelling in forearm wrist and fingers. I do have carpal tunnel and that brace helps a bit, but I’ve been snatched out of my sleep with pain and swelling. It only lets up when I’m standing and moving. I can’t be in a laying position. I can go on and on about this. Imma stop and see if I get any likes😀
