Question 1

i have an unusual crawling sensation beneath the skin on my back at the left shoulder, usually on the same spot. what could be the cause?

Accepted Answer

Notalgia paresthetic: Notalgia paresthetica is an itchy spot usually in the infra scapular area that is actually due to arthritis in the vertebral column of the back. It is due to inflammation of the sensory nerves that exit the foramen which is then interpreted by the brain as itch. This leads to chronic scratching which leads to a thickened plaque of skin called lichenification. Try taking Ibuprofen or acetaminophen.

Yes can be others: Gastroesophageal reflux (gerd) can cause irritation of the throat if not treated appropriately. There can be acid reflux and non-acid reflux as well so it is important to follow with a GI or ENT doctor to make sure that you are treated appropriately.
Viral illnesses such as a pharyngitis can also cause raw red throats. If you are not improved  over a week, you should follow up with your doctor.

Possible, but: The tests indicate no physical basis. Stress is a great mimic. I would see a Rheumatologist, to make sure your Ratnaud's is not serious. Nail fold capilaroscopy is a must!

causes of  sensation/numbness in fingures?

Nerve entrapment: Most likely, your nerve is being irritated by inflammation, or some sort of nerve root entrapment, similar to that found in the condition of "carpal tunnel syndrome."  the median nerve travels through a 'tunnel' through your carpal (wrist) bones and gets irritated, often causing tingling or numbness in your thumb, pointer, middle and half of your ring finger.  Get checked for cts.  Good luck.
