Odd numbness and skin pain in shoulder blade and upper thigh

by mamato3, May 23, 2006 12:00AM
Several years ago I had a numbness in my left shoulder blade that caused no problem other than an odd feeling.  After birthing my 3rd child 3 months ago, it has become quite painful. Sometimes I have sharp searing pains and always hurts when touched. Only a few days ago I started getting the same numbness in my extreme upper right thigh, only the progression to the pain happened in just a few days.  It's very painful now - a sort of burning, numb pain. Could this be nerve damage?  Any other ideas?

I've been experiencing the same thing...can't find any solution.  Alternating pain that's sensitive to touch on my upper left back by my neck and occasionally a numbness, pins and needles feeling.

Hi
Thanks for writing to the forum!
There is a chance that you have compression of the spinal nerves in the cervical spine region. This can happen due to overuse of computers, work involving straining of neck, canal stenosis, bone disease, spondylosis, poor posture etc. A few neck exercises, or chiropractors can help relieve the pain, tingling and numbness. A MRI of the cervical spine may ne required. Please consult a neurologist.
Hope this helps. It is difficult to comment beyond this at this stage. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
