23 Yrs old Tingling sensation in arms and face??

Question

i've had it for about 6 months now but it gets on my nerves. like ill go to brush my hair and as soon as i lift my arm i get a rush of tingling from that arm to my face. it only last for a second but it worries me a bit.

I also have a pain in my back that ive had for about 4 years now its right below my left shoulder blade. nothing helps the pain and its worse when i lay down or slouch. a heating pad makes it feel better but only for a couple min. then it hurts again. getting a massage in that area hurts a bit then the next day its 10x's worse! i tried icey hot, those patch things. dr. gave me muscle relaxers, pain killers NOTHING WORKS. could the 2 be related?

Answer 1

You definitely need to get that checked out. You could have some neuro problem.  Check more into neuro problems like Trigeminal Neuralgia...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trigeminal_...

You need to see a medical professional for assistance.

Answer 2

Go see a doctor immediatly,you have got a serious illness and these things you described are the telling signs.pls hurry!

Answer 3

Go to a doctor, you have probably damaged some nerve endings.

Answer 4

i've had the same problem.

random sometimes.

sometimes the pain beside/under my shoulder blade hurts really bad and i need to get my BF to massage it...and sometimes it doesn't bother me at all.

i'm not so sure about the tingling part though.

sometimes i get it if i mover my arm a certain way, it's like a cquick flash of tingles all through my arm.

but not in my face.

Answer 5

freak or geek

choose

Answer 6

Maybe it's a panic attack?

I'd talk to your doctor

Answer 7

They almost certainly are related.  You exhibit classic symptoms of a herniated or ruptured disc in the thoracic area.  Herniated means squeezed out of position.  The tingling is from pressure on the nerve roots in the part of your spine associated with the other parts of your body.  You may need surgery but there are also non-surgical treatments.  Please see a qualified MD specializing in orthopedics as soon as you can afford it!!!!    

Answer 8

This may sound kind of random, but get tested for autoimmune diseases, connective tissue diseases, and Lyme disease.  I have friends with Lyme who often talk about tingling and intense pain.  I'm not a doctor or anything, but it's an idea.  Small issues like tingling in your extremities coupled with chronic pain can point to a larger cause.

Good luck.
