What Does Tingling In Shoulder Blades Suggest?

Hi, I am experiencing slight tingling and numbing sensation between my shoulder blades for second day. Never happened before. I am 44 yr old female. I am pretty sure my spine hurts if i press on it between shoulder blades. Do you think it is dangerous?

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

I have studied your case.
Due to compression of cervical spine nerve root there can be numbness in shoulder.
I will advise you clinical examination and accordingly investigation like MRI cervical spine or shoulder will help.

For these symptoms neurotropic medication like pregabalin can be added consulting your doctor.
Till time, avoid lifting weights. You can consult physiotherapist for help.
Physiotherapy like ultrasound and interferential therapy will give you relief.
I will advise to check your vit B12 and vit D3 level as low levels can cause increased muscle and nerve damage.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care.
