Dear Anon, I suggest you see a neurologist. Long term nerve damage can complicate matters as you get older. There are tests that can assess the nerve conduction and health of your nerves. If you have been having problems most of your life, it is probably time to get a diagnosis before you face another complication. Another problem with numbness on your arms could be linked with cervical spine degeneration i.e.disks which could cause pinching of nerves thus causing numbness. The main thing is to have a qualify doctor do an evaluation, run some tests and if all are negative, then you can try gentle exercises such as Tai-Chi or Yoga that allow the body to stretch nice and easy.
