Pay attention to how you rest your arms while playing. Make sure that you're not cutting off the circulation to your hands or forearms by resting on the body of the guitar or anything. Continuous playing like that can damage the tendons in your arms and hands by depriving them of oxygen while they're being used.

mmm it could be a few different things but the main issue is nerve involvement any tingling is associated with it it could be anything really ranging from cervical neck problems to just tight pec muscles~~~ check with a massage therapist for more info ask about carpal tunnel,,thoracic outlet or if you have history of cervical damage be sure to inform them of this as well the sooner you get treatment the easier it will be to help you in your healing however by sayin easy I do not mean a couple treatments ta da and you are finished it may take a few months at least but truely worth it so check into it :) for yourself if you want to keep making music~~take care:)

Possibly you have carpal tunnel. My pain/numbness went from the wrist up my arm. Try wrapping you arm with a ace bandage for support and see if that helps with the pain. My dr. gave me splits to wear at night that helped, then I went thru PT. Luckily by managing it early I didn't have to have surgery.
