If you have a pinched nerve in your neck that can cause all sorts of problems. A chiropractor could give you lots of relief. Have you checked with a doctor before you get too crazy about what this is? When I had a pinched nerve in my neck it hurt lots no matter what I did.
Carpal tunnel syndrome cause some of the sypmtoms you are talking about.
Good Luck and see a doctor.

What you have just described shows that you are having a Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. It is the tightening of the wrist muscle that has squeezed the carpal tunnel in your wrist. Nerves and veins passes through this tunnel leading to your fingers. You can wear wrist splint when you are at rest or at night to relieve the syndrome or perform a small operation on the wrist band to release the tightening of the muscle. I suspect you have a stiff shoulder and it is this stiff shoulder that causes your carpal tunnel. What you needed most if you choose not to go for an operation is to massage your shoulders more often.

I'm no doctor but i woul suggest you go to the hospital and get it checked out because it is commonly known that any numbing or pain in the left arm could be a sign of a possible heart attack waiting to happen.
Sorry to alarm you but it is better to walk into the hospital tha be driven in the back of an Ambulance.

This is not a place to seek Medical advice, why haven't you gone to the Dr.?
