A member asked:
I often feel like something is touching me (briefly) or a sort of numbness right below top of shoulder on back (right below blade). when i touch it or move my shirt around, it goes away. it occurs more when im working. could this be serious?

Unlikely serious: Could be a muscle pull, as it happens while working / moving, if you lift weights better follow lifting instructions at work. If really bothersome or interferes with the daily activities, see your doctor, best wishes
