Nerve Or Muscle Problem With Shoulders Posted: 08-16-07 14:20pm
The last couple of weeks or so my
shoulders, upper back, and arms (mostly my
right arm) have had this tingling feeling,
like my skin is crawling or like someone
is tickling me under my arms. I was
thinking maybe it was my nerves or muscles
in my upper back, shoulders, and arm. I
sleep on my right side and I thought maybe
I pinched a nerve. I've tried sleeping on
my other side and on my back but that
doesn't seem to help. It also bothers me
if I have my back up against anything like
a chair back or when I'm trying to go to
sleep and I'm laying on my back. Does
anyone have any idea what may be causing
this and if so, do you have any
suggestions as to how to stop it because
it is really annoying me. Thanks.

Not a doctor, but its does sound as though
you have a pinched nerve. Have no earthly
idea on what to do except maybe see a
physican and let him xray to rule out any
damage. The tingling you described was
what I had in my shoulder and it was how I
found out I had a pinched nerve. Was on
Flexeril for a few days, but other than
that its fine now!

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll have to
check on that. Anyone else have any
suggestions/ideas?
