Hmm nothing to do with carpal tunnel or something like that? Guess not actual carpal tunnel as I think that is only in wrists but same theory...
I had tennis elbow a couple of years back which sometimes flares up, which while much more defined location wise, would sometimes cause me to completely lose strength in my arm and hand and would have to make sure I carried things in my other arm.
I have a feeling that conditions like carpal tunnel sometimes pop up in pregnancy and then go away afterwards.
On this website it says it can go up to shoulder....
