Right Arm pain and tingling
The pain started in my elbow about a mo th ago. I would get sharp pain as f I slept on my arm wrong. I have now been making sure that I don’t sleep on my arm but the pain has spread up to my shoulder, across to my spine. And from my elbow into my wrist, thumb and index finger. It keeps me up at night and keeps me from doing my job properly. When it happens it last anywhere from 5 minutes to 8 hours. It feels like fire running through my arm and my hand feels asleep but never wakes up.

This procedure is repeated several times, alternating hot and cold. Note that the treatment should always end in the ice water, as heat will induce the body's inflammatory response, while cold helps to decrease inflammation.

It seems you are compressing your radial nerve when you are sleeping on your arm. Try to avoid sleeping on your arm by tying both your arms around your trunk while sleeping as temporary measure. Also take vitamin b complex and gabapentin100 or pregabalin 75 when you are burning pain in your arm.
