What Causes Tingling Feeling In Back?
I have this tingling feeling (this comes and goes) in my back just below the neck. I have applied cerave cream to get some relief. What it is causing this problem? When I am busy during the doing thilngs I dont feel much of tingling. However if I lie down this problem comes back. Some times I wake up at night and feeling like scratching the back harshly. After I scratch my back pain subsides and I can go to sleep.

hi,
thank you for providing the brief history of you.
A thorough neuromuscular assessment is advised along with MRI of cervical spine.
As this kind of tingling sensation happens due to nerve irritation in the cervical spine and needs a thorough assessment. Post an MRI we can understand that which nerve is getting pinch and based on that the therapy will be of choice.
With simple medication and physical therapy you should be able to get rid of the situation and Function normal again.
