What Causes Crawling Sensation In The Neck, Shoulders And Upper Arms?

My lower neck, upper shoulders, upper arms and feet feel like something is crawling on me when I m usually in the sitting position. I have degenerative disc disease in my cervical spine and degenerative joint disease in my L4 and L5. Is this normal? It s very annoying and troubling. What can I do to ease the symptoms. I also feel the sensation in the upper part of my right thumb at times.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Crawling sensation what you are experiencing is due to peripheral nerve compression as a result of cervical spine pathology.
Kindly take Tablet. Neurobiology Forte once a day for 1month and wear cervical collar during most of the time in a day. Supportive physiotherapy rehabilitation would also help in addition.
Gradually, your symptoms should subside.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
Regards,
Dr. Ashakiran.S.,
