Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

How was your day?
Hope this message finds you in good health.

I have gone through your query in detail and understand your concern.


I generally see many cases like this at my clinic.I give them analgesics,anti-inflammatory tablets and ice pack till the feeling reduces to some extent. Then i get an xray and if necessary an mri done to find out the exact reason.


In your case, considering that you sit all day on computer work,there are 3 possibilities-
POSSIBILITY 1. SOFT TISSUE INFLAMMATION- there may be no bony involvement,only the soft tissues around the shoulder might be inflammed that may be causing the pins and needle sensation

POSSIBILITY 2. NEUROPATHY- there may be a partial or complete swelling of the nerves in that region that may be the root cause of such kind of pins and needle sensation.

POSSIBILITY 3. DISC PROLAPSE-there may be a compressed a nerve in the region somewhere that might be causing pins and needle sensation in those regions.Possibility of a disc prolapse should be kept in mind.

I suggest you get an Xray as well as an MRI neck done to find out the exact cause.
Physiotherapy,analgesics,anti-inflammatory drugs , neck exercises should help


But i assure one thing, even if it is either of the above 3 possibilities,all have a good prognosis and you should eventually get back to normal in coming few days.Nothing to worry about.Do get back to me after your reports are ready.     

I hope your question has been answered.
Feel free to consult me anytime for follow-up queries. Take care,God bless.
Wish you a healthy life : )
