A member asked:
Can overstretched upper back muscles cause symptoms like prickling, itching etc ? lack of blood flow ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Not likely ischemia (/lack of blood flow), more likely from irritation of nerves in area by inflammatory markers released by involved muscle tissues. Nsaid, cool compresses, and massage /stretching can often help relieve. If not improved in a week, see dr, as may need muscle relaxant or might be from other cause. Good luck!
