A member asked:

I just started having this sensation in my shoulder between the blade and spine, it varies between pain and hot and cold then tingles then gos numb?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Pinched nerve: Sounds like a pinched nerve in the upper back / lower neck. See a chiropractor for evaluation and treatment. NSAIDs like advil (ibuprofen) help as well. If there is no relief then see your doctor for further evaluation.
