Manning has degenerative disc disease of the cervical spine. He has had three surgeries thus far in his career to control pain, weakness, and tingling in his arms. Two of these surgeries happened this year, with the first in the offseason and the second shortly after the start of the 2011 season. His last surgery was a single level anterior cervical fusion. This is where the surgeon joins together Manning’s spinal bones to create stability."

I could be wrong. The way I understand it, the problem in his arm isn't just tingling associated with the neck problem. It's a problem with a specific nerve that he is trying to work out. This impression comes from friends of mine who are huge Colts/Manning fans. They are constantly harping on how people keep getting his medical status wrong cause they focus on the neck.
