periodic tingling in same spot on back

It has been mentioned a few times in this entire thread that this condition is called Notalgia Paresthetica. Therefore, I am not sure why so many here keep looking for other explanations like shingles etc. I have this NP and it causes the tingling itching spot medial to the lower shoulder blade area, but it also creates tingling and itching to the nap of my neck area, and even muscles tightness in my upper left back area. Mine is aggravated by any upper body movement, especially involving overhead. Quite annoying most of the time, and VERY difficult to deal with some of time.

I would advise to get the area massaged, lean on it to apply pressure, or put on a heat pad. I get these tingling sensations in the same spot every now and then, under my left shoulder blade, next to my spine. It usually comes after heavy weight lifting or stress to my back so it definitely has to do with some sort of muscle tension. I've noticed that when I do the above it goes away. I don't have any rash or mole, nor does it itch so it is definitely not shingles or notalgia.

Lets try something new and see if we can maybe pinpoint something we have are all doing in common.

I dont smoke cigarettes, but I do smoke marijuana. I have a perscription for my crohnes disease.

I get that tingling like a knife then complete numbness on top of my left shoulder blade when I smoke a new strain grown by someone I am not used to. Its completely numb to a point where I can stick needles into it and wont feel anthing. About the size of a dollar coin. Ive come to accept that maybe its the way my body reacts to new chemicals (different growers use different kinds and amounts of fertilizer). It usually goes away after a few smokes or maybe 2 days. It however persits if the marijuana is dirty and too full of chemicals. I then stop smoking that strain and it eventually goes away.

Once I smoked some that wasnt from the clinic and it was so dirty, half of my back went numb and was tingling. Im talking pinch as hard as you want numb.

Hope some people state some of their habits and maybe we can see pinpoint a cause. I wouldnt be surprised if cigarettes caused a similar problem. Due to impurites left behind after the drying and curing.

I have this going on seince i had my baby a month ago in its getting work i dont know if its from the niddle that was in my back or what but im scard bout what is

Did anyone get answers? My back doesn't hurt but that tingling sensation feels unpleasant (i think someone described it once like ants crawling and that is very accurate) and I don't like my shirt to touch it.

The NP condition websites describe this sensation as itchy. I have no itch just a weird numb feeling. Like I sprayed some numbing agent on it. Can it still be NP?

I have the same thing too, its doing it right now. i just turned 14, is this a normal age to be having this? i keep thinking somthing is wrong with me and i freaked out and almost cried. it pretty much started on my birthday.?

Same here but i can control mine...

This has started happening to me too, for the last month or two. But now it's happening more regularly.

Has anyone ever thought of a non-physical answer? I have the exact same thing and I find myself to be an extremely universally sound person, here are my thoughts (ones which doctors and physicians would never dream of): I think it's a physical sign of awakening, the middle right side of my back, closer to my spine tingles, feels antsy but not all the time. The fact that there are so many of us, coming into this time, doctors have no idea how to explain this! The back root of the heart chakra is located directly at that area, You have nothing to worry about, you are experiencing truth, enjoy ;)

Hello, I'm writing to tell you my experience with back tingling because a few months ago I too was searching frantically trying to figure out this problem. The tingling started in a small area under my left shoulder blade and became more intense and frequent over the course of 8 months. I saw a neurologist, had X-rays to test for bone spurs or anything unusual affecting the nerves. X-Ray came back normal, the neurologist was convinced it was muscular. He used the word "myofascial". He instructed me to purchase a back rolling device and said it would help loosen the muscle and calm the tingling. I decided not to get the back roller and made a choice to begin strengthening the muscles in the part of my back that was tingling so much. I decided to get a pull-up bar that hangs from a doorway. At the time, I could barely do 1 pull-up. Over the last three months, I've worked my way to now being able to do 6. Remember, pull-ups are not the same as chin-ups. I've plateaued at 6 pull-ups for the last month but more importantly the back tingling has been gone for over a month now. The approach I've taken is not easy but I can tell you the tingling can stop, I was skeptical of this a few months ago. The faster you strengthen your back muscles, the quicker your tingling may go away, just be careful not to injure yourself by taking on too much when your body isn't used to it.

I have had the same sensation as described and have been putting mine down to a few factors. 1. Recent birth of a child .2. Poor posture when breastfeeding, that slouched position like when sitting at a pc and lastly which is what I've mainly been associating mine to is a gallstone and it's effect on my liver. Just my guess

Started about 6 months ago for me, inline with my shoulder blades, just left of the center line. I first though there was a piece of tape on my back (work as a night stocker, tape and cardboard all night) but there was nothing there. Every few days I'd feel it, but I've learned to ignore it as it isn't painful and goes away in about 10 minutes. Today I felt it again, then it spread like tingling in both directions in my back up to my shoulder blades. Disappeared soon enough. I'll get it checked out as soon as I get health insurance, but for now I'm hoping someone with similar issues has an answer.

I have had a similar tingling right below my left shoulder blade towards my spine but its usually during or after I work in the studio throwing on the wheel or drawing. It lasts only for a bit then goes away with some stretching or yoga.

Wow, I have been experiencing the same thing for at least a few months now, maybe even a year.  It's a spot between my spine and the bottom my left shoulder blade. When it first started, I would occasionally feel like I was being stung or bit by a bug or something in that one spot, and would have people look and they would say that there was nothing there. Then sometimes it would itch really bad. Then it started feeling numb. Now it is a burning/stinging pain almost all the time. I haven't been to the doctor about it, but from what I have read it sounds like these symptoms are related to a pinched nerve. I wonder if a chiropractor could help?  I have always had a lot of muscle tension in my upper back, and it got worse when I had my daughter (now 10 months old) and began breastfeeding her.
