I used to have the tingling in my left arm down to my hand for decades. Would often wake up with my left arm asleep like a dead piece of meat which was kind of unnerving. Had my blood pressure checked and other tests and all was good and it actually became less of a problem when I got my CPAP machine and always slept on my back as opposed to my sides. A couple of years ago when I got full blown tennis elbow I got an ultrasound which uncovered a tendon tear but also something else. The lady doing the ultrasound asked me if I ever had issues with numbness or tingling in my left arm to which I said yes. Well it appears probably in my youth I fractured my left elbow and a chip of bone is out of place and did some nerve damage. I did a lot of work to rehab my left arm to get back to tennis and still do forearm exercises and it's actually not really been an issue since recovering from TE at all.
Good luck with your surgery and recovery.
