weard nerves firing/pin ***** feelings??

one day sitting on the couch i noticed a small cold pin ***** feeling in my hand,,,real quick,and that was it,,then a few minutes later i had same cold pin ***** feeling somewhere elce,and somewhere elce and so on,,,,they are real fast,feel like there right on the surface and there all over,not just upper or lower body.
now this lasted for like 1-2 moths and went away.
now it has been some time and just tongiht ive been getting them on and off again.
i had a ct scan on the head to look for like ms and i was clear of any leasions or spots.
i had lots of blood tests,no diabetes,nothing like that.
doc said with my other issues...(some lightheadedness,lack of focus) it was most likely anxiety,,,,the thought possible GAD and put me on lexapro..well,,,i only took that for like 2 weeks,didnt feel any better.so i stopped taking it,,,since then i have not been back to him..see i want a diagnosis i can put my finger on,not some idea this is all from stress!!!!
what could cause these feeling?
i might add,,,i get sore/stiff back when i sleep,,but better when im up and moving..(3 mos)and i have had a sore neck for a few days also.

what exactly are spondylic changes?,,,could this have anything to do with when i was a kid and had scoiliosis tests in school,i sometimes was told i "didnt pass"
i was checked out and was told it was nothing,but i have always had a bad back you can say,,,today now i feel fine,,no tingleys at all.

Hi,

Since you have mentioned stiff back and sore neck there is a possibility that these symptoms are due to beginning of spondylitic changes in the spine.

Nothing can be said for sure without a clinical exam and X ray of the spine.

The possibility of stress and anxiety also cannot be ruled out because stress is a predisposing factor for a whole lot of diseases.

Hope this helps!
