    Jordan,

    I know its hard, but the best thing for you is to stay calm...at least as much as possible. I know thats a hard thing to do, especially when you are scared and have no idea what the heck is causing this tingling.

    My first guess would be a pinched nerve...somewhere in your back. Thinking back a month or so ago, did you have ANY accident or bodily trauma???

    Hopefully it'll be something relatively easy to fix, like an imbalance of nutrients, a pinched nerve, etc. (((hugs & prayers)))

    Has the tingling gotten better or worse with time? From your thread, it seems like worse, but I'm not sure. Does anyone in your family have any sort of nerve disorder?

    Keep us updated. What time is your appt. tomorrow???

    Hugs, Kelly
    ...RIP, our sweet Gini...

    Thanks everyone for the wishes and support. I am not taking any new medications, nor have I had any accidents, but I do have a very physical job and have suffered from back problems my entire life which my job tends to make worse. My back went out very badly in February to the point where I couldn't even lift my head or move any of my limbs. It was only out for two days, so I had a few weeks without problems, but perhaps this is the result of that.
    No one in my family has any nerve problems, but my parents both suffer from back problems. My mom has minor scoleosis and my dad has never even had his back checked so I don't know what's wrong with it, but it hurts. My chiropractor always wanted me to get x-rays but my mom thought it was a hassle. I will talk to him about it tomorrow.
    It's been getting worse and worse...I don't think it's heart problems anymore as usually TIA goes away after a period of time. My tingling changes spots but it never goes away. Currently my back (right shoulder blade area and middle back) is tingling. My ear was tingling before that. It's driving me crazy!
    I have my Dr appointment at 10:50, and my chiro at 3:00. I hate appointments so I'm dreading it lol.
    I've been BOO'd!

    Don't think of them as "appointments"; think of them as INVESTIGATIONS!

    OK #1, I agree with you that its probably NOT your heart. Right sided issues show that, thank God! So that's a good thing.

    Do you have any headaches?? Does your head hurt at all??? Or is it the tingly feeling that's the worst part of it??

    You hurt your back in Feb...that would be right before the tingling started? About how long from when you hurt your back to when the tingling began?

    I agree, don't think of your appt as a hassle, think of it as a means to an end - the end of your annoying symptoms.

    Hugs, Kelly

    No unusual headaches, I get the occasional one but only after breathing in cigarette smoke or the scent of flea shampoo, that sort of thing. It was atleast 3 weeks before my back stated tingling...my back was out and then suddenly it wasn't. I just had the usual muscle pain from standing and bending over for long periods of time.
    I've been BOO'd!

    I'm sorry to hear that you're having problems. I hope that everything goes well tomorrow and that the doctors will be able to find out what's causing this. Prayers and positive thoughts are being sent your way.
