Yes, but it was my left arm, I dont think that matters much. Turned out to be a pinched nerve at the back of my neck. The pressure when you sneeze is enough to quickly pinch off the nerve and cause the tingling / burning sensation. Put heating pad and then ice pack (alternate)on the back of your neck / top of your spine for a couple days. It cleared mine up.

Temporary pinched nerve.
It does not hurt to check with a chiropractor to make sure things are fine.
Much pain is from muscles below is an example of what may help (based on headaches).
Begin with a couple swigs of molasses or a couple of bananas daily - magnesium (which regulates many things in the body) and potassium (a needed building block for muscles).
Drink at least 1/2 gallons of water per day. Running a body low on water is like running a car low on oil is the analogy the head of neurology at UCDavis told my husband about 10 years ago.
Now to the cause - muscles - your back, neck shoulders and head have tender spots. They are knots in the fibers of the muscles called trigger points. It makes the muscles tight which makes them press on nerves and other things causing the pain.
The cure - start with a professional massage, you will also want to go back over any place you can get to 6-12 times per session up to 6 times per day rubbing (or lightly scratching on your head) every where that is tender until the knots go away. The place where the skull connects to the spine press up under the edge of the skull (to get to those muscles).
For more information read The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook by Davies. It teaches what to do and where the pain comes from.

It is likely either a disc or bone spur is impinging on your nerve. A visit to your Dr with an MRI or at least an x ray of your neck is a strart.

You have a pinched nerve. Does one of your shoulders hurt when you sleep. Do you get shooting pains up your back sometimes. You should probably see a doctor it will only get worse
