What Causes Tingling Sensation In Left Shoulder Blade?

I started feeling this intermittent tingling ("electric") sensation in my left shoulder blade area just beneath my skin. It doesn't hurt but I have never had this occur to me before. The symptom started about an hour ago and it comes and goes (and possibly getting stronger each consecutive episode). Otherwise, I did not experience anything peculiar during the day. I am a 24 y/o female, non-smoker, and not on any medications. Is this something I should worry about?

Hi,

It seems your neck is in wrong posture due to which your nerve has got impinged due to which you are getting such electric sensations. Check your neck position and follow correct neck ergonomics and you acn do hot pack over neck and shoulder region. It will relieve any neck muscle spasm if any and reduce the sensation. Use any topical muscle relaxant gel or spray. It will help you out.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
