Hi, for 18 months I have been getting a tingling sensation in my right shoulder blade when ever I wash up , make a drink , or anything where I have arms out in front like getting toddler dressed , also occurs when I carry him , the tingling doesn't last long at all and has moved from the inner side of the blade to the top of the blade .

I have been worried about this for months now , i have severe health anxiety now and and thinking the worse . Neck Xray just showed "muscle spasms " , been to chiro lots of times and it's still happening and I'm just plain scared it's something horrible :-( anyone help me please ? Xx

    Hi Emma pins and needles usually relate to nerve entrapment. Ask for a nerve conduction test. Anything more serious there would possibly be constant discomfort.

    Hope this helps.

    Sounds like a nerve is being pinched. Have you seen a chiropractor? Sometimes an adjustment helps. When I go for PT my therapist does the "bear hug" and my back cracks and it feels wonderful! !
