tingling numb and crawling sensation on my back!

hey, i recently got a job at a facotry and about a week after i started working, i started to get a numb and tingly (kinda like a crawling sensation like ants crawling on my back) right in the middle of my back, on my right side, next to my spine. its really annoying. in the past 2 weeks its gotten more constant and more tinly. i dunno what it could be also, this is sort of unrelated but when i bend over too fast or too far, i get a stabbing pain UNDER my left breast. i dunno can someone please help?

I think it would be helpful if you described the kind of work (repetitive motions, tasks, weight-bearing? any fixed positions or one-direction rotations?) From what you wrote it could be a nerve impingement, a rib out of proper connection with the spine, or a problem in a muscle shortened by repetitive contractions in your back that gets extended and painful when you bend... anything really. So more detail will help the experts I am sure.
