What Causes The Painful Pricking Sensation In The Upper Body?
Hi, I am sixteen years old and just started experiencing a strange pricking sensation. This has been happening for two days so far, and I think that I found the trigger, but I still don t know why it is happening. It seems that every time I am exposed to heat or get my body gets warm from being nervous, I get a painful pricking sensation in almost all of my upper body (mostly my back, chest, and neck) that lasts only for a few seconds but has happened at least 30 times today. It s not severe but it is still painful and I don t want to keep having it happen. What could it be?
