Question 1

what is tingling in left shoulder about?

Accepted Answer

Tingling: If associated with chest pain, shortness of breath, nausea etc. Can be cardiac related, but more likely a pinched nerve perhaps from a cervical disc. If other worrisome symptoms as described go to emergency room, either way see your doctor.

Question 2

7/9 hrs on my feet at fast paced job...tingling in left shoulder in back and tip of big toe is numb, can it just be that my shoes are just too small?

Accepted Answer

Toes touching shoe: If your big toe touches the rim of your shoes, then it could be that your shoes are too tight. However, since you're on your feet most of the day, you need to have the best possible walking shoes available. If your big toe is red, swollen, hot, painful, and your shoes fits fine, meaning a half inch from the top of the shoe, then it's probably a medical condition. You need to have your pcp examine your feet/toes and make a diagnosis.

Question 3

hello, i am feeling this crazy tingling under my left shoulder blade. it feels so odd but doesn't hurt. could it be serious?

Accepted Answer

Perhaps not so: Some patients will rarely experience a tingling irritating sensation over the middle of the shoulder blade or even below, and that is a problem locally perhaps secondary to trauma or virus, termed notalgia paresthetica.  A thoracic disc may compress an intercostal nerve, and cause symptoms.  Probably not a sign of progressive disease, but have your doctor examine it.

Question 4

i've had this non stop pain under my left shoulder blade for three days. i also get a tingling sensation every now and then.

Accepted Answer

Muscular?: What kind of activity do you do.? Could this be related to martial arts or some type of running or exercising type of activity. If it has persisted this long and continues to be bothersome I would call the doc and see if an appt is available. Does not sound serious but can get treatment that may be helpful Must also consider pleurisy that is not related to muscle but may be an infection in chest.

Question 5

tingling and somtimes pulling sensation in the left shoulder blade but not always there just when i move or bend over sometime? but not all the time

Accepted Answer

See doctor: Sounds entirely musculoskeletal in nature as opposed to neurological.  Start tracking the differences in physical activities and positions of the left shoulder and back together with periods of pain and discomfort.  You will then, take this completed diary to someone's attention.

Question 6

i've had a sporadic tingling sensation around the inside corner area of my left shoulder blade for about 2 weeks, what is causing it/how can i fix it?

Accepted Answer

Multiple: There are many reasons that this could happen but an overuse injury from repetitive motion such as shoveling or repetitive lifting over your head may have caused the problem. Another source could be from trauma, where you recently in an accident or accidentally hit up against a wall?. If it persists, you should seek professional advice from your family Doc initially

Question 7

is tingling and slight pain around the left shoulder something serious?

Accepted Answer

Pain: At your age it is probably of no significance and should disappear

Question 8

why is my left shoulder and neck tingling?

Accepted Answer

Not normal: If your symptoms are this intense, you need to see your doctor as soon as possible.

Question 9

i am experiencing  numbness or tingling (side: one side only) (time frame: sudden)  on my left shoulder for about 6+ months?

Accepted Answer

Tingling L shoulder: Could be thoracic outlet syndrome  or coming from compressed irritated nerve in the neck. Would get MRI of cervical spine and if normal follow up with  orthopedist regarding  thoracic outlet syndrome or other impingement disorders, rarely could be MS or mass(tumor- check CXR, thyroid, nodes) or TMJ . Would not delay as over time  with tingling can lose  function and strength.  ,

Question 10

lately in the evening every night i get this tingling burning feeling under my left shoulder blade, usually i am doing something what can cause ths?

Accepted Answer

The something: Your synopsis states that you have a sensation after you are doing something. Clearly "something" seems to be triggering your discomfort. Stop doing "it" and see if the "something" resolves itself. You may have a trigger point and a physical therapist might be helpful to you.
