What Causes Pain And Tingling Sensation On The Left Shoulder?

Hello Doctor, thanks in advance. I am quite active, a bit pudgy and 60 years old. I just took my 7th trip rowing a 2000 lb raft 280 miles down the Colorado river in March. Since then Iave noticed a non painful, tingling sensation in the area of the left shoulder blade and into the lower neck left side. Today I sneezed and noticed a burning sensation in the same area. Any ideas?

Hi,
Thanks for asking. I undrstand your concern.
The tingling sensation in sholdr/scapular area you discribe is mostly due to cervical spinal stress/inflammation /disc problem following the hectic activity of river refting.
Age wise bony weakness /degenerative changes predispose such a trauma.
Xray/MRI to diagnose the exact nature of stress &get specifuc treatment from an orthopedic doctor (medicines,local injection,phyuotherapy or surgery if no relief) would be the answer.
Thanks.
