What Causes Tingling Sensation On Left Side Of Neck When With A History Of Back Surgeries?
Approx. 3 months ago I started with a a tingling feeling from the left side of my neck radiating down to my left shoulder. It feels like the same tingling you get from a tens unit. Started when driving and raising my left arm to steering wheel. As time went on it happens even when doing nothing. I have a history of osteoarthritis in many parts of my body. Have had 4 back surgeries and joint surgeries. Could this be arthritis in my neck?

Hello
I have gone through your question and understand your concern. The symptoms are more likely to be originating from cervical vertebra, but other possible conditions like cardiac pathology must also be considered.
Cardiac pain may mimic muscle pain radiating to shoulder, back, hand and jaw take an x-ray neck and ECG to find out the underlying cause for the symptoms.
Hope your concern is answered. Thank you.
