Does Tingling Sensation In Mid Back Indicate Nerve Problems?
Question: hi, I have been having tingling sensations the past few weeks and some numbing sensations in my mid back along my bra line for the past weeks. I shower, and get ready for the day, and I feel a tingling or almost a numbness to my mid back on and off for a couple of hours. It feels a little creepy or crawling and it moves across my back. I was wondering what this may be due to a nerve issue? THANKS!
