Nerve tingling and pain in my upper back, Please Help

Hi,

I have constant nerve tingling and annoying pain in my upper back near my right shoulder along a band extending from my spine to my shoulder. I have seen a doctor regarding the problem although she was unable to provide a satisfactory diagnosis of the problem. I have had this problem for about six months now and can’t seem to find any reason for this. I was diagnosed with Costochondritis (from pain im my right side ribs) about a year ago and the pain has mostly gone away. I am pointing this out because I don’t know if it may be linked. As well, I am taking Nexium (a drug for acid reflux) and have seen articles that say this may lead to a B12 deficiency, but again I don’t know if this is relevant.

I can provide further information if needed.

Hi, I was googling the words "tingling in upper back" and found your response and had to find out more. What really got my attention was that you said you had Costochondritis. I too had the same thing over a year ago (I actually had it twice!) I've noticed this shooting nerve pain between my spine and shoulder blade for about a year now. I almost forget about it because it doesn't happen that often, but when it does, it will lasts a couple of hours and it's very annoying. I'm wondering if it has anything to do with costochondritis and if you have found out any more about it.
